My wife and I provide her shelter, food and medical care, and we treat her like a child, down to the ridiculous winter coat that my wife insists she wear.
I love spending time with my daughter, but could I provide her with a daily timetable of English, maths and science, interspersed with playing with a group of five and six-year-olds on every school day of the year?
That woman in Uganda who wants to buy a cow to start a dairy business, if her story is told and you believe that wow, if I provide her that $25 loan that she'll be able to buy that cow, earn a living and pay me back then wow.
There is no reason for her to find out about how I provide her with all of it.
The one my wife, who had Alzheimer's, resided in for four and a half years provided full care, dispensed medication I provided, fed her when needed, changed and bathed her when she was incontinent, and loved and hugged her every day.
I controlled her pain, I provided breastfeeding support and encouragement and I tidied up her room before her guests arrived.
But we kept her good company, and I provided a helpful service: While her English vocabulary, pronunciation and diction were near perfect, she had a tough time understanding the gumbo'd accents and Waterworld slang of these parts.
" If it is a child, I will give her antibiotic syrup, and if it is an adult, I will provide her with antibiotics in the form of tablets" (dispenser and owner, Songea urban).
