Living far from parents comes with a constant, quiet worryโฆ
Being here with them now, Iโm realizingโ
as they age, their world becomes smaller,
and the people who show up every day become their world.
Shivam. Radha. Shelly.
Care, comfort, continuity.
You want to be there for your parentsโฆ
but you cannot do it alone.
Caregiving is not an individual act.
It is a system.
And itโs also a reminderโ
if we want to show up for others,
we need to take care of ourselves too.
Our own wellbeing.
Our own support systems.
Our own moments of connectionโwith people, with nature.
Thatโs why I believe so deeply in what weโre building with MyTrailPalsโ
because stepping outdoors, finding your people,
and building communityโฆ isnโt a luxury but part of human fabric.
Itโs what sustains us, so we can show up for the people who need us.
Grateful for the Shivam, Radha , Shelly & countless like them who quietly hold our families together while we are away.
