Welcome to the first episode of this storysharing podcast for, and about, people caring for aging parents. I want this to be a show that includes many voices, not only my mom's and mine, So, as an experiment, I sent a few friends a short recording I made after spending a day with my mom. And I asked them to send me a recording related to a recent experience with their parent(s). Many thanks to the storysharers included here: Lisa H. (Oakland, CA); Lorilyn P. (Sacramento, CA); and Julie R. (Northampton, MA). You confirmed for me that there are MANY stories out there and MANY folks who want to both share and listen. Onward ho!

Thanks so much to Jenn L. for the gorgeous artwork (based on a photo I took of my mom and me on a winter walk).

Also, so much appreciation to Molly Flannery for the improvised piano accompaniment and Airtone for the hip bird sounds.
