With her husbandas support, Mary cared for five dying family members in their home. This experience pulled her life together as two generations collided and exchanged places. As bumper cars in an amusement park, her lifeas baggage touched the very persons who had helped to fill her backpack. Care giving resurrected memories of her life story and brought it forward for resolution. Mary hopes her story will serve others as an example of this resolution, whether persons are tending their elders or simply thinking about caring for their elders.

Yet embracing rather than distancing the ancient ones offers a unique opportunity for wholeness and spiritual growth. And through it all, humor is essential
