While I wear many hats and play many roles, I’m Charlotte.
I am the mother to 3 children Roni (7), Josi (4), and Liam (1). My husband Jeryd and I are high school sweethearts from a “blink and you miss it” small town.
I am also the daughter of a disabled veteran. For the last 7 years I’ve cared for my father. I’ve driven hundreds of miles, to countless appointments, ordered hundreds of medications, and spoken with more specialists than I can keep track of.
In these last 7 years I’ve graduated not once but twice. Most recently with my Masters Degree. It is something I am incredibly proud of.
Yet, when I go to start my life I find myself asking, “But who am I really?” The heart of it comes down to, I am Charlotte, Mom, Caregiver, Wife, Friend.
Members of the Sandwich Generation find hardships in finding time for themselves, finances, and balancing their time. I understand. I live it each and every day.
