I was a caretaker for my Grandfather for 3 years cooking, cleaning, bathing, having our 1 on 1 time while working 2 jobs was no doubt a challenging title to take on, but at the same time was the most rewarding experience for us to strengthen our relationship. It's not for the weak for sure, don't forget to take care of yourself in the process.
shout-out to you for being a wonderful caretaker to your grandfather. Yes, it ain't easy but knowing how loved he was made his transition easier. Be blessed.
Hello Patty & Vanessa! I just broke down at the end. I moved back to Oklahoma to take care of my Mom. Eldest of 4 and no one helps! I’m tired and stressed, but gotta do it! Thanks for the encouragement, Sis! 😘🩷 Jo
Sending positive thoughts your way. It can be challenging, and I see it's usually one that does the most. Please find a time for self. I'm learning this myself. I'm a caree'. All the best.
I’m not sure why it’s always this way. Took care of my Mom too and I have eight brothers who barely called. Please be sure to do things for yourself to relieve the stress. Praying for you and your Mom.❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿
So true what you said Aunt Patty I took care of my 85 year old Aunt for 3 years up to the last 3 weeks of her life while being disabled myself her brother and his wife complained the majority of the time❤She passed 6 years ago I am learning to revisit me everyday❤
My beloved Grandmother used to say “pretty is as pretty does, ugly to the bone, pretty loses it beauty, but damn sure if ugly doesn’t hold its own.” Loving your hair, you doing it auntie!
Thanks for the words of encouragement, I’ve been a care giver for years, mom, once she passed a developmental disability sister became my responsibility. I have other siblings but no one wants the responsibility, I know this is what I’m supposed to do but sometimes it becomes overwhelming.
Happy for Reggie Bush❤🏆. I think that the Heisman’s tweet after OJs🙏🏽🕊️passing helped the Heisman committee open their eyes to the Reggie Bush injustice,too.
Kevin Samuels was a dangerous person and he supported child abuse and not believing your children that is extremely dangerous and destroys the parents relationship with their kids.
How bout being a caretaker of other ppls parents and you become the bad guy?... but understand there is nothing more profound than loving on others during ther last moments. Painful but worth every moment. Blessings
Im a 64 y/o caregiver for my totally bedridden daddy for last 5 yrs M-F. He has Parkinson's and this has been the hardest yet most regarding thing Ive ever done. People ask how do I do it and the answer is always LOVE. I live through other people post with the hope i will get a chance to gp on vacatiom out the country or a cruise one day. I did enjoy my bday 3/17th by treating myself. I knew i couldnt afford it but i just had to do something for myself. Thanks for giving us a shoutout because we are often forgotten😢
Thank you so Patty for your message to care givers. I take care of my mother and we just got back from one of her many doctors visits. Long day and I really needed to be reminded 😊
When I lost my parents I became an orphan of some kind an older orphan RIP to my parents🥲🙏🏽 and grandparents who helped raise children grandchildren 🙏🏽
Auntie you spoke to my heart at the end. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Thank you for acknowledging the tough work of caregivers. Thank you for taking the time to love on us 💜
Uncle Luke need to have several seats 🤦🏾♀️👎🏽!!………. I took care of my Grandpa for 5 years. Would not have had it any other way. He was the best! It was an “Honor” to take care of him his last years on this earth. He was in his nineties when he passed away ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I lost my mom at the end of December. I don't like this new normal. There's something about losing someone who loved you unconditionally, no matter what. You are no lying about being a caretaker, and I'm having trouble with my anger towards my family who never stepped up or had the nerve to criticize me. No one tells you about the trauma of watching your parent decline and die. This is and was the hardest thing I have ever been through, and I can only be relieved that she is no longer in pain or suffering.
Thank you Patty. I have been feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated lately. I am taking care of myself but not as much as I should. I sometimes am made to feel guilty because everyone is so used to having me on call. I have been weaning them for a few years now. I can see the finish line but it's been hard
Hey Auntie..I needed that last part of this video. Caretaking is a lonely journey. And dementia is not a joke. It's cruel. Mommie has 4 sisters and 3 brothers left out of 14 and NO ONE helps me, not even my oldest brother. And I promise you if it wasn't for CeCe Winans and your videos I would be curled up in a corner somewhere. Staying in my Bible and praying to the Lord to help me on my journey is how I make it through the day, everyday. Mommie is my best friend, and I promise you until she takes her last breath I will remain constant. Thank you..for real(s)! ❤️🙏 No judgement but it's a NO for me on the Marlon Wayans. A hard NO at that. Bless life.
Ok look this is what most reasonable men want from HIS woman: 1. RESPECT! If U don't respect your man then it's YOUR FAULT because U picked wrong! 2. Need to know how to cook a few dishes well! I'm from old school New Orleans and we All KNOW how to cook! Hearing anybody say they DON'T cook is CRAZY to us and saying you DON'T cook or refused to cook is a 100% deal breaker to us New Orleans MEN and WOMEN! 3. In the beginning of the relationship, BOTH parties should be trying to look their best but after a year or so of being together, LOVE and respect should allow for BOTH parties to show their real self because after all looks don't really matter its the heart and love and respect that does. You learn that as you get older but BOTH parties should try to stay fit and presentable to please their partner. 4. Both parties NEED to have money coming in and need to enjoy their business. Both should be with each other for love and NOT the money! I want to know IF they gonna reinstate Reggie's NCAA RECORDS back because they should have NEVER erased them! Good video Patty! 🤔
Auntie Uncle Luke needs to be quiet. Rest in peace, legendary Terry Carter. Prayers for his family. Losing both your parents, whether young or old, is like you losing your balance. Thank you for your encouragement and wise counsel. Love your segements. Have a blessed and beautiful Wednesday.
Yes in deed. ED is a problem for men, but they always got something to complain about for what women don't do. In the the words of Destiny Child: Can you keep up, make me lose my breath. Have a good day everyone. ❤U.
I agree with you Ms Patty. I wanted to see Color Purple to be supportive, but Christmas celebrations kept me from going and before i knew it there it was on streaming platforms. Has'nt been anything else thats piqued my interest(s). To easy to just wait for the stream.
Hey patty Peace and blessings to ya Luke Has Lost 😊his mind still love him too.Patty Thanks So mucccccchhhh😊For That Encouragement Towards The end on taking care of ourselves and that we Are not alone and that Better Days Are coming Amen 🌹😊Love Ya Patty ❤️😊😊

Uncle Luke” Campbell. The 2 Live Crew frontman-turned-political activist filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for a potential run for Congress in Florida's 20th Congressional District.
THANK YOU PATTY FOR ACKNOWLEDGING CAREGIVERS. I’m so tired and asked God why me? Why not me he said. This is your assignment. I chose you. The reward will be grand. I caring for my mom in law with my soon to be ex husband. No help from her daughter who has abandoned her for over 4 years. I have my own mom who needs more of me. As an only child at 53 and motherless hurts. I pray God will restore everything I’ve lost and what the enemy has stolen. 🙏🏽🙏🏾🏘🤱🏾🤰🏽✝️🙌🏽
Yes Patty! Being a caretaker is challenging especially if you have little to no help. However, I would not change the privilege of doing it for my dad.
Wow, it's funny you say that Auntie! I'm a caregiver and everything you said is so true! Thank you for allowing God to use you as a vessel to speak the truth. 🤗
I helped my mother when my father left her with five other siblings in return they won't come around unless it's beneficial to themselves.Now that they are financially secure they won't even pick up the phone or visit.
I love you, Ms. Patty. I care for my father who is slowly dying from Parkinson's. It's super hard but the time we spend together is valuable beyond words.
I'm with you about the movies. I haven't been out to a movie theater since Covid. However, I AM in love with Netflix and Hulu. I am excited about Lunell and hope it's taped. My question in regard to Uncle Luke is, how long has he been married? Wasn't he surprised when his wife wanted a divorce? Only those couples married 40 or 50 years are qualified to give advice about marriage.
My name is Vanessa. I may be partial, Aunty, but that wig is my kind of curl and color! I've never worn a wig in my life and I'm more subtle with color, but Vanessa is the perfect name for her. It speaks to me.🥰🥰🥰
Hey Auntie...loving Vanessa! I've lost both parents and it's a challenge whatever the age. Luther Campbell has never been my cup of tea so what he says matters not to me. Self care is so vital, especially for caretakers. Thanks for your advice.
Great words of encouragement to Caregivers. You must take some time for yourself & pray. I was a caregiver for my Mom. My sibljngs could not deal that she was not the same. I am Thankful for the network I had from my Moms friend's who would watch her when I needed a break. God is Good all the time. She has passed but I would do it all again. It is not easy. You have ur good days & bad Days. I want everyone who is a Caregiver to know that u will receive Blessings after ur job is done. Yes, when they pass u will misss them. I still have some crying days & she passed 10/2023. I want to applaud all of the Caregivers. The lord will let u know, Job well Done & He will bless you. I pray for all CAREGIVERS daily. May God contiue to wrap his arms around u & make time for yourself. 🙏🙏🌹🌹
Aunt Patty you are absolutely right instead of men talking about what they're not which is a woman and we know why we do what we do or not they should continue to talk about themselves what kind of man should you be and why do the women have these type of standards that the men can't meet as some of the standards are basic to they need to focus on them
Uncle Luke is the reason why half the men out here don’t respect black women now. Some of these black male podcasters had no other father figures growing up besides 2 Live Crew. 😂
Happy Wednesday y’all! RIP Terry Carter😢. Uncle Luke, you better get out of here with that old school mentality! Men need to be clean down there! They need to cook, clean the house, work and take care of the kids! 👧 👦
