Inspiration for Caregivers
Clarice Morant, 101, cares for her brother Ira, 95, and sister Rozzie, 89. Hearing to her story left me breathless with awe. Ms. Morant says,
"I made a promise. To the Lord. If he gives me the health, the strength, the life to do for them. Take care of them, keep them from going in a home. I would do it. And as long as he gives it to me, I will give it to them."
