I have been away from home, helping my mother care for my father who has Parkinson’s. Caretaking is this ever shifting mixture of deeply fulfilling & totally exhausting. You’re constantly arriving for someone, in service of them, caring for them & it’s easy to look up at the end of the day & wonder where you have gone.. On my first trip out to see them I packed in a hurry, leaving all teas & tinctures at home. I missed them dearly. I’m packing them first this time.
