Stefania, thank you for adding me as a friend on Goodreads.
I am happy you wrote the book 9 REALITIES OF CARING FOR THE ELDERLY PATIENT. I worked as a nurse for over 20 years and mostly worked with the elderly. It was a great experience and I wouldn't have done anything else. Thanks for writing that book. I hope I win it in the giveaway.
