Having a father about to turn 91 almost a thousand miles away in New Orleans, I wish there were someone like me keeping him company, making sure there aren't trip hazards in the house, fixing him something to eat, singing him a song, listening to his stories, taking him to appointments. I was the fourth of his nine kids, and the first girl. Lots of responsibilities for me as 'mother's helper' growing up, something that comes naturally to me now as I see the parenting role reversing. I am 5'11" and strong. A background in performing arts, hospitality and client service makes me a natural for lending a hand and feeling good about it. I live on the Far North Side of Chicago and own a car and a home.
When I first moved to Chicago in 1988, I took a job working as publicist's assistant to a wheelchair user who was instrumental in the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act thanks to his special focus on voting poll accessibility and close work with legislators. I drove his chair-lift van every day and accompanied him to meetings and appointments, editing his publications when I wasn't pushing his chair to offices downtown and elsewhere.
