Some of my most treasured caregiving memories come from the simple, heartfelt moments I shared with my dad. One special part of our daily routine was “couch exercises” — gentle movements we adapted together, even when his legs grew weaker and his back ached. Exercise had always been a passion of his, and finding creative ways to keep him engaged not only supported his physical well-being but also deepened our bond. Those moments of laughter, encouragement, and connection became more precious than I could have ever imagined.

Caregiving taught me that being present and adjusting to our loved ones’ evolving needs is one of the greatest gifts we can give. Our shared determination to keep moving forward, even on the hardest days, reminded me of the incredible strength found in love, patience, and creativity. Looking back, those small sessions weren’t just about physical health — they were about hope, resilience, and honoring the life and spirit of someone I love.
