My Family, My Caregiver

By Sylvia Finegan

Our family is the greatest, this I know is true;
You've helped me with my illness, there's nothing you won't do.
No matter when I need you, you've always been right there;
Through thick and thin, good and bad, your love you freely share.
On the days when I am down, Feeling blue and wearing a frown,
Someone always makes me feel better
With a smile, a hug, or a very sweet letter.
Thanks to you, I never feel alone,
And as a person I know I have grown.
We've come a long way and I want you to know;
I treasure the way that your love always shows.

SCLERO.ORG was the world's leading nonprofit for trustworthy research, support, education and awareness for scleroderma and related illnesses from 1998 to 2021. It was a grassroots movement from the original Scleroderma from A to Z web site, which was founded by Shelley Ensz. We were a 501(c)(3) U.S.-based public charitable foundation. We closed this web site and our nonprofit agency in April 2021.
