This is so encouraging, honestly. It can be hard to put yourself in someone else's shoes, but the timeline of a lot of our lives can end up looking like-- being raised by other people, a small taste of freedom, maybe kids and having to raise them... then being free for some window of time and having to be taken care of ourselves. I can see a lot of push-pull emotions coming with that and it reminds me to be more careful with people as they struggle with the "being taken care of" part of their lives. It can't be easy for them either.
This is a great point, Kate — it’s not easy to need care, either, and it’s important to have empathy. There’s a famous Rosalyn Carter quote: “I like to say that there are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
I love this and these photos are so beautiful ♥️
Thank you! 🎞❤️
