Granted, some people are so bad off they need the round the clock care provided in a nursing home.
But I put my life and my dreams on hold for 15 years to take care of my elderly father. I even sold my house and moved in with him because I knew how much his home meant to him.
And I didn't even date women because I felt that if things got serious, I couldn't devote myself to two people.
I don't think I deserve a medal or anything, I just felt it was the right thing to do, and I wonder why other people don't feel the same compassion for their parents.
