Do you need to be reminded that in order to take care of your daughter you have to take care of you first? Hmmmm? Being a caretaker is extremely hard and a lot of time the caretaker collapses before the patient. It is totally draining mentally and physically. Once you are down your immune system will follow. Please take the time to take care of you. Post reminders to do something good for you from time to time, okay?

Ok. I will.
Being a caretaker is really very hard, especially when the person you are caring for wants to be independent, but is unable to. And yes I do need to take care of myself too.
