My emotional attachment to the people I care for is both a curse and a blessing. Every ounce of who I am goes into taking care of them with love and tenderness...then they begin their trip "home."
From their point of view, it's only a blessing - people in situations like that really appreciate people who are as empathetic as you are.
When my grandmother went into a care home with dementia, most of the staff were professional but unattached, but occasionally there was that one 'all in' carer who clearly lived to make the residents more comfortable in any way they could - and from our perspective as a family, we really valued that kind of compassionate carer because we couldn't be there all the time. That person is you! But yeah, no doubt you suffer for it when you lose them, that sounds ridiculously tough - and very selfless.

This made me smile. Thank you!
My heart is in my work, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Also, it's so good to see you're still here 🤗2 -
I stepped out of my comfort zone and treated myself to lunch yesterday. Doing it by myself, for myself, and with myself. It wasn't exactly comfortable when the waitress decided to ask "are you waiting for someone?" Well, um, no. I'm here by myself, for myself, with myself. Then I ordered a drink, and when it arrived it was the size of a fish bowl. I thought to myself "maybe this wasn't such a good idea." What happens when I get half way through this bowl and I can't drive myself home? What a waste of 15.00! Then I remember this was for myself, and I'd finish this drink by myself, with myself. Even if I have to sit in my car for two hours and wait for my sober self to drive myself home. Moral of the story - I realize now why I don't do things by myself....bc I need a sober drive.2

I opted to sit in my car and sober up, that's what a responsible adult would do.

True. I don't drink so I got drunk just reading the post0 -
When people have an MFP fling, whatever that means to you, are they open about it in the community forums? Like how would you know if your MFP boyfriend was also the MFP boyfriend to five other women? And would you be OK with that if you did know?1

If this is you revealing you're cheating on me, it's ok bc I have four other accounts that you don't know about. And I'm not even mad at you...you a prude and I get nudes elsewhere
So that's that1 -

You have been paying attention all these years. ❤️1 -
I wonder what would happen if mfp introduced the “top 8” to profiles.2

It was just a curiosity. Would people even care or would they not care? Would it hint at anything? What kind of emotions would it evoke in people that are having relationships with other mfp’ers? Personally I’d rank it by length of friendship, be it male or female, if it existed. I was just curious about human behavior and what a top 8 would communicate.4 -
This could get interesting2

I think back in the day it was more obvious to find out who was with who. Who had more than one mfp gf because you'd see multiple woman posting similarities about a certain someone...now not so much now.4
