Favorite moments & quotes from the episode

Mom loves to listen to music with Alexa’s help…but she needs help remembering her name.

“She (her sister Nancy) was very difficult to give birth to and they said they had to coax her out with a Hershey bar.”

That’s why I wrote this book. I started to write for children who lost their parent because my children who lost their dad were scared. #CaregiverSpotlight #CaroleBeighey

“It was so cold I’d have to light fires in the fireplace to keep my kids warm and they would have to play in their snowsuits in the house.”

My parent’s first date…started with this conversation between my Mom and Dad:

Dad: “Do you want to have a drink?”

Mom: “Oh, I think the coffee shop is closed.”

Listener Question(s)

After the interview was over, I thought of lots of questions I wished I would have asked mom. If we do a round two caregiver spotlight, what questions do you have for Carole?
