1. I have been a nurse for seven years. I love my work. Now, my
is quite ill. He is 71 and has heart failure, and a lot of other medical
. Up until April of this year, he was able to
alone, drive, and take care of himself. His health has
down swiftly. I’m the only girl out of five children. Being the only girl and a
put me at the top of the caregiver(照料者) list. Taking care of a sick parent is very difficult, not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to abandon(离开) my own
to be here with Dad. I know this is what I need to do but it is still
. I spend about 12-15 hours a day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our
left together is short..
At the same time, I felt
that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their

some. He stays at night. He comes in at 8: 00 or 9: 00 p.m. and lets me go home. My other
pop in for 10-15 minutesvisits. It is really annoying. They say they can’t
seeing Daddy this way, which I
. It hurts me to see him so sick and
, too. But he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us all his life. I just feel that we should do our part to take care of him now.
