For Better or For Worse

The For Better or For Worse comic strip has been running a caregiver story line this week. Last week Elly's father walked into a wall in his sleep and broke his nose and twisted his back, and now he is needing more care. In today's strip, Elly had convinced her new step mother, Iris, to go out for a walk with her, and the wife was expressing some of the same guilt and other emotions that most caregivers express about leaving home for a break.


You can review the strips and also read the "letters" from the Patterson's that give more of their thoughts on the strip's website: www.fborfw.com.
The strip page is : http://www.fborfw.com/strip_fix/index.html, and today's strip will automatically show, but you can see the past ones too.
