Nope, but I have juliana's.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, ND. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

Our wings are not tired
I'm good at many things. This type of work is not one of them.

“Not dead yet!”

But you're a good son. That counts for a lot.

It took a disturbingly many seconds before I could parse that as anything but Certified Netware Administrator.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
ND, most people aren't good at that type of work. That's why there are CNAs. But you're doing it, and you're getting what needs to be done done, and that's a seriously huge accomplishment.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Indeed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nobody's good at this type of caretaking, ND, hard as that may be to believe. It's a learned skill. It's distasteful, though nurturing types can more easily fold the necessary things into the caregiving part of their psyche. It's always worse when it's family.
You're a good man, and you're doing a very difficult job. And while I can pat your shoulder and praise you for doing it, your only ultimate payoff is going to be from yourself. That it was damned hard, but you did it, whether out of love, duty, or necessity, or a mixture of all three. Fact remains, you're a good son.
