I am like you 2 guys. I took care of a widow lady for over 20 yrs. Not a relative but a great neighbor. Then I took care of my mother and dad both until he died of a heart attack one day. The day before I had to promise to look out for my mother and a brother that got his mind screwed up in vietnam. He ended up in a rest home after my Mom died a few years later and I visited him in a rest home daily for 9 yrs. My in-laws were old and needed care so I took them under my wing too for a few years. But like you, I considered anything I did for any of them to be a pleasure. Heck, I even took residents of the rest ghome places they had never been such as Seaworld and to see Christmas lites. I wish my kids were like you guys.
