How Are You COPING?
Coping:
The Many Faces of Love and Care
I saw the need for this book. People around me are caregivers. Their lives are rarely easy, but they COPE. Personality plays a role, and reality reigns.
Read twelve different short stories about caregivers and a quick novella about a long-distance caregiver. Think about the man who runs away on his motorized vehicle. See how the neglected daughter cared for her mother with care and compassion.
The book cover shows that there is a rainbow, and you are not alone. How did they do it? Learn from their experiences. Look for the rainbows.
This book is not a medical book, but twelve true stories about men and women who cared about their relatives and friends with love and understanding.

New 4 You!
Did you know that a current best seller starts and stops by writing letters to others in the book? It made me cringe. It starts and stops. It leaves things out which might bother you as much as me.
This Father’s Day eulogy is from the past. I think it might be the downfall for many instructors and teachers trying to explain why that person can do it, but those of us from “old school” methods shrink and shiver. Then I thought about some old favorites like Tom Sawyer. I decided to do research and discovered “it depends,” meaning some people want the text to be like we knew since high school or lower. It depends on what the reader and writer want. Some just want a good story with no hassles about the accents and spelling.
I don’t see any stereotypes in my story about a man taking care of his family. The boys did the heavy lifting, when the girls saw a father who did what he could for his family, the same as his wife would have wanted, especially considering the children’s adoration.
I wrote the short story for your enjoyment and as a catalyst for your memories of your Father’s Day. Don’t get upset about the grammar or stereotype pictures in your head. Just enjoy the opportunity to think about your own backyard.
Happy Fathers Day
