Hi, I’m Tammy.

Welcome to Love, Patience, and Pill Boxes.

I never imagined that in my fifties I would find myself caring for my elderly parents—but here I am. Like so many others, I stepped into this role without a roadmap. Some days, I have more time than I know what to do with. Other days, I feel completely overwhelmed. And in the quiet moments, I’ve felt something I didn’t expect… loneliness.

Even with a loving family and wonderful friends, I found myself craving connection with people who truly understand this journey—those who are living it right now, or who have already walked this road.

So I started writing.

What began as a way to process everything I was feeling slowly turned into this space—a place for honesty, support, and shared experience. This blog isn’t just about caregiving. It’s about love, patience, exhaustion, small victories, hard days, and everything in between.

And I don’t want this to be just my story.

I want this to be our space—a place where you can share your story, your struggles, your advice, and your heart. Because together, we can remind each other that we’re not alone.

This journey is hard. It can be scary. But it can also be deeply meaningful and unexpectedly beautiful.

I’m so glad you’re here.

With love,
T
