The ability to work remote isn't just about travel. Sometimes it means having the freedom to show up when and where needed in the ways life demands of us, without everything else falling apart.
I am so sorry to hear about your Mother's recent health struggles. This time in our lives - aging and also caring for aging parents - is a difficult one. A surreal role reversal. I just wanted to say "Bravo!" to how thoughtfully you explained why location flexibility can be such a gift - and actually bring us closer to the ones we love. My mother suffered from Alzheimers for years, and working remotely meant that I was able to pick up and travel from Massachusetts to Washington D.C. whenever my father needed help with her care. Which in the end, was quite often. People are quick to judge - thank you for reminding the world that being a nomad can also mean bringing us closer to home...
Thank you so much for the affirmation and sharing your experience, as well. Alzheimer's is such a difficult condition to manage. Your mother was very fortunate to have you on her team and able to be there <3
