The U.S. Relies on Family Caregivers. Millions of Them Are Kids.
Isabella Myricle Robinson was 15 and hanging out in her bedroom, surrounded by her stuffed Hello Kitty dolls, when she heard her mother, Rosa Seda, cry out. She raced into her mother’s room and found her lying on the floor. Rosa didn’t seem to be breathing. “Mama, wake up!” Isabella screamed. She shook her mother’s head from side to side and told her to breathe. “I honestly thought that she was gonna pass away right there,” she says.

Senior Center: January Is Creativity Month
“You can’t use up creativity, the more you use, the more you have.” —Maya Angelou January is the month to celebrate creativity and what a great way to start the new year, by trying some new things. I have downloaded an app called “Now You Know,” and it creates a new skill every week and gives you a tutorial on how to recreate what they teach. There is watercolor art, cooking, baking, candle making, cake and cookie decorating, making your own skin care items, etc.
Christmas Memories
“Christmas is a time when you get homesick even when you are home.” —Carol Nelson There are so many memories about this time of the year. What I remember is family getting together to eat a great meal, with a turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy and tons of desserts. My mother used to make magic bars, which were made with coconut and chocolate and were so very rich. I need to make them this year to bring back that memory.
‘Let’s Live This Life With No Regrets’
“Having somewhere to go is home, having someone to love is family and to have both is a blessing,” Anonymous Anyone that knows me, knows that I love music and one of my favorites that touches me on a personal level is “Stop This Train” by John Mayer. Anytime I hear this song I cry. It talks about time and wanting to stop it from moving forward.
‘Just Go for It’
“You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough.” —Frank Sinatra After finding the quote from Frank Sinatra, it made me think of two things. Firstly, this time of the year, I enjoy listening to jazz. Not sure why that is, but it is now through December that I listen to “big band” music and just jazz in general. It just seems to go with this time of the year for me.
‘Show, Share Some Gratitude Today’
“It is not happiness that brings us gratitude but gratitude that brings us happiness.” —Anonymous Sept. 21 is Gratitude Day. In 1965, during a Thanksgiving dinner at the United Nations in Hawaii, spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy proposed a global day dedicated to gratitude. This idea led to the establishment of World Gratitude Day, first celebrated on Sept. 21, 1966. While dedicating a day to gratitude is valuable, being grateful every day is even more important.
Trisomy 18 Was Once Seen as Too Lethal to Treat. Some Kids Are Now Surviving.

Senior Center Recognizes Alzheimer’s, Brain Awareness Month
“Sometimes you will never know the value of something, until it is a memory.” – Dr. Seuss June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. I remember when I was younger, hearing that when someone was having trouble with memory or acting differently, it was called hardening of the arteries, but now we know that it has a different name—dementia. Before working at the senior center, I was employed at a couple of assisted livings and outreach therapy programs and worked with dementia patients.
Busy May for Senior Center
“A Mother’s love endures through all.” – Washington Irving For those that do not know, I lost my beautiful mother this past January, so, this will be the first Mother’s Day without her.
