Deb Beausoleil 📷🌅📸 she/her<p>Traveling with Dad always brings surprises. At 3 a.m., the motel room suddenly lights up like high noon. I shoot up, bleary-eyed, and there he is—wide awake, smiling, and asking, “Oh, are you up?” as if we’ve both just had a full night’s rest. I mumble something about it still being the middle of the night, but by 4 a.m., he’s at it again—lamps blazing, ready to start the day. It’s equal parts exhausting and endearing. You’ve got to laugh, because sometimes that’s the only way to stay awake and sane.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Caregiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Caregiving</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Dementia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dementia</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NightShift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NightShift</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TravelHumor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TravelHumor</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FamilyLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FamilyLife</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LifeWithDad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeWithDad</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SleepIsOverrated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SleepIsOverrated</span></a></p>
