This week it is Kathleen who's nominating her daughter Tonay
to be our Morning Breeze Person of the Week.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
And we've got Kathleen on the phone. Kathleen, tell us
why you nominated today.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Back during the recession, I was in aviation and got
laid off like ten times in five years. And I
have my children are ten years apart. Tonay's the oldest.
The youngest is Gabrielle. During that time, things got really crazy,
and Denay stepped in and took care of her sister,
took her in all that and then about I want

(00:38):
to say, ten years later. She had epilepsy as a child,
so she was nine, but then it went away for
twenty years. Then when she was twenty nine it resumed. Anyway,
her sister has been her caregiver ever since.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
So today has been the caregiver to your other daughter.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
To Gabrielle. Gabriel works. Yeah, the kind of epilepsy that
is what they call it breaks through the medicine, so
it's kind of uncontrolled. But thank god, you know, it's
like every two months, every three months, but it's devastating.
So today has been my angel. They're both my angels.
But Toy has been a saint to her sister and

(01:19):
her husband as well. But today has done this primary caregiving,
and I just wanted to acknowledge her.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You know, yeah, it sounds like Tonay stepped in at
a time in your life where you weren't able to
care for your daughter the way you wanted to. But today,
you know, being the older sister, she was right there
ready to go.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
She was right there, ready to go, and has been
with us. She lives with today. They're just as tight
as you could be.
