As an only child, I've been trained to care too much for my parents. Now that my Dad is still alive, I'm tasked with being his caregiver. But I suffer greatly from worrying over him. Every move he makes I track. When he coughs at night or daytime, I ask Jesus to be with him. I've lost a lot of weight in the last year from worrying. It seems every month, there's a new issue with his health. These issues aren't that sad-making but they add up and I'm stuck feeling fear all through the day. I need Someone to hold me back from worrying over my Dad. That Someone is Jesus Christ. I need to take care of myself first before I can take care of anyone in the family.
