Table 5.

Kanika’s I-Poem

I get joy in caring

I feel you know

I get

I put out a lot of good energy

Good things will continue to happen for me

I limit myself

I don’t’ allow myself to go too far into the future

I’m kinda on the fence

I guess

I just go ahead and stay in the moment, appreciate the day

Something that I’m planning

Something that I know that’s coming

I’ll address it

I don’t even know

How I manage

But I do

My faith continues to be strong…in spite of

Losing my grandparents

I just didn’t imagine

I will say it was gift, an honor, a privilege

I was able to be there with her

***

What brings me comfort

I am able to be there

What brings me comfort

I am able to help him

I just shake my head

We just laugh

I just shake my head
