Do you ever get a break? Any siblings help? Can you hire someone to fill in?

I was about to write, "No, unfortunately I never get a break," when I realized that this--this moment in time is a break.

We have a CNA who comes in twice/week for 3 hours. This CNA only has these hours to give and my Mom doesn't want anyone else. My Brother provides the best support that he can which basically amounts to "listening to me." That's another story! But basically, it's just the three of us--Me, Myself and I.

And my Breaks are few and far between. I do have this moment. And at this moment, you have reminded me that even if it's only 20 minutes, I will take a break and enjoy the beauty of this day. Thank U
