Trading Places Class Edit

For my final project in Picture Stories class I found an incredible story. It’s a story of love and care, revolving around two wonderful ladies Nidia and Ann. Nidia is Ann’s full time caretaker and has been living with her for the past seven years. They have known each other for over 30 years through church. 23 years ago, Nidia had her last child and had to have surgery shortly after. Ann began taking care of Nidia and her family shortly after the surgery. Ann took care of Nidia and her family in a way that brings Nidia to tears to talk about. When Ann was diagnosed with dementia several years ago Nidia stepped up to take care of her. Ann’s memory has faded greatly and she has forgotten how to speak and interact with people. Even the most basic of tasks are a challenge for Ann. Nidia goes the extra mile to make sure Ann remembers as much as she can, often giving her small tasks to help around the house and throughout the day. Nida and Ann attend church each day and are involved in a number of activities to keep Ann’s mind busy.
