Last August my author friend, Elaine Alphin, had a stroke. Since then her husband Art has been by her side. Today I read a post in which he said, "Elaine is my one and only."
I want to dedicate this Valentine post to Art and all of you who are taking care of "Your One and Only." I thank you for being there for them. Don't forget to read to them. They can hear you. Elaine does!

I am sending my best wishes to Elaine as well as all the aging and ailing friends and family of our blog group. I wish everyone strength to dig deep and find the resources to be a strength for others.
A poignant reminder of the power of love, Carmen. Thanks.
I second Christy's wish for folks to find the strength to be there for others. Being a caregiver can grow weary and it's hard to remain cheerful, strong, and supportive. Be good to yourselves, and forgiving, as you take care of your "one and only"s.
Lovely sentiments here, Lauren! I'm going to look for a book to read to my father this next week.
Carmen, thank you for this loving post. "My one and only". We all have one and only's and I third Christy's sentiment- take good loving care of yourself and your ailing family and friends. What an amazing group we have.
Aw.Such a touching post, Carmen. Hugs:)
Any updates on Elaine?
