She started out living with us as a way to save money- she was able to sell the house she lived in as well as providing free at home child care for my younger sister who was not school aged at the time. However, around 2005 she was involved in a bad car wreck and her health spiraled quickly, forcing my mother to take on a new role as a care giver and health advisor of sorts. The toll that this took on both my parents and my grandmother was clear even as a middle school aged child. My mother was forced to quit her job in order to accompany her to doctor appointments and to provide simple tasks that she was no longer able to do, and it was embarrassing for my grandmother not be able to care for herself- although she would never tell you this. Long story short, I was curious to see where my parents fit into this equation. I felt like the article was well written and even with a lot of facts being thrown at you was an interesting read. Plerret did a good job, in my opinion, deciphering who would be classified and setting a common standard for future
