Caregiver Chosen from Birth

This is more than a memoir, it's a life put together from faith, endurance, and unconditional love.

The story traces a 61-year journey between mother and daughter, from childhood memories to the sacred responsibility of caregiving. With vivid honesty, the readers are invited into the moments of laughter and exhaustion, resilience and faith. The kind of love that both breaks and rebuilds you.

At the heart of it all is a woman who survived domestic abuse, built a respected nursing career, raised her children with strength and grace, and never lost her unwavering relationship with God. As dementia began to take her memories, Iris held on caring for her mother through every stage until her final breath.

This book is a reflection of that sacred bond. A story that reminds us what it really means to honor our parents, cherish their humanity and carry their legacy forward.
