On this episode of Our American Stories, as a child, Deborah Freeburg learned what faith, perseverance, and family looked like by watching her parents care for their own. Years later, she entered a new and frightening season when her father’s health declined and the roles reversed.

In this listener's story, Deborah shares what it meant to become her father’s caregiver, tending to him through illness, loss of independence, and moments of deep vulnerability. It’s a story about aging, dignity, and the quiet, faithful love that binds families together when words are no longer enough.
