I see caregivers everywhere now and I have empathy for them and their care recipients. I see the invisible labor. How has caregiving changed you?

August 4th is my dad's 11-year deathiversary. Have any of you reading these posts been with me since my 'spiral year?' That's a long time. Thanks for hanging with me.

I remember the day we said goodbye to my dad nine years ago. It was also my kids first day of school. Natalie was starting high school, and Jacob was beginning 7th grade. These are those sandwich-generation struggle moments where I wanted to be in two places simultaneously.

The kids said goodbye to their P**i a few days earlier when we had Dad's "Celebration of Life" at a hospice community in Florida. It was a beautiful ceremony with Facetimed Family members, poems, letters, cake, wine, tears, music, and laughter. I remember the hospice team saying they wish more families did something 'like this.'

I miss you, Dad. I will likely go back and listen to my voicemails and read a few of your 'drops' of wisdom so I can feel closer to you and hear you say, "Love ya, love ya!"

I'm excited to partner with Cox Mobile to share insights from their 2025 Connecting the Digital Dots Survey.

As Sandwich Generation caregivers, we face considerable pressure in managing online safety for ourselves, our children, and our aging parents. We're worried about identity theft and privacy violations for our parents, as well as online predators and cyberbullying for our children.
