Us face, a journey that is difficult but also joyful. Now, in my face it is my father who has alzheimers. I value the time ive spent caring for him. My Father And Mother also come from military families. But like so many they never talked about it or how they cared for their siblings who served. The Caregiving Journey for military families, it starts earlier and lasts longer than for most. And as we learned over the three years filming the military families in this film, it is a job that involves the entire family. May is military caregivers month. In this Feature Documentary Youll see children as young as 11 years old stepping up every day, balancing school, work, and Coming Home to responsibilities their classmates cannot even imagine. To them this is routine life. But to us they are our Care Heroes growing up as americas next greatest generation. Now, before we start the film some thoughts from 11time Emmy Nominee David hyde pierce, one of the films executive producers. Hello. Im david hyde pierce. And Richard Lui reached out to me about Sky Blossom because he knew of my Familys Connection with caregiving, taking care of my grandfather and my dad, who suffered from alzheimers and dementia. But none of that experience prepared me for the depth of Devotion And Selfsacrifice and Bravery And Love shown by the families in this film. There are more heroes per Square Inch in Sky Blossom than there were in saving private ryan. Heroes on both sides of the camera. And as a testament to the power and importance of this film, variety has put it on its list of 25 oscar contenders. And i would say it should also be on the list for the nobel peace prize, the Heisman Trophy and anything else we can think of. I think youre so lucky to be seeing this film, and we are so blessed that richard made it. So please enjoy and please stay for the credits. There will be no phone calls.

That made me feel great, that my team was behind me 100 . Breaks off the left tackle. Fights his way to the sideline and down to the tech 28 Yard Line for a gain of 15 yards.

Im Richard Lui with the hours top stories for you. Americans are traveling in record numbers. The tsa screened more than 1. 9 million people at airports friday. Most since the pandemic started. Sitcom Star Gavin Macleod has died. He was in every episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show. And spent more than a Decade Playing Captain Stubing on the love boat. Former Castmate Ed Asner saying, my heart is broken. Macleod was 90 years old. Now back to the documentary Sky Blossom diaries of the next greatest generation. You spray, i clean . I can sense when hes not well. Its not easy caring for somebody who is going through a lot of changes. Physically, mentally. They dont want us to suffer with them, so they do push us away. He started having issues with the tonsils. He was going back to the dentist and his regular doctor, and they just kept on giving him antibiotics. It wouldnt go away. And he started seeing pieces of i guess tissue or you know, from the mouth that were falling. We ended up going to the v. A. We got the diagnosis. Rhianna was months old. Its a type of cancer that not a guy his age would have. The doctor said it is servicerelated. Veterans who served in the Middle East along with some private contractors are complaining of Breathing Problems associated with large areas of burning garbage. At some of the military bases throughout those Regions Waste materials were disposed of in socalled burn pits. Breathing fumes from those fires appears to have damaged the health of countless veterans. What were some of the things you remember seeing that were being thrown in before you would set the flame . Diesel fuel. Body parts. Styrofoam. Stuff you shouldnt be burning up. And what do you put on top . Diesel fuel. Light it up. Masks . We didnt have masks. His health has gone, you know, Up And Down. Its been one diagnosis after another diagnosis and then just certain things that we had never expected for us to go through. When he was taking a shower and he realized his and he realized his hair was falling, to hear him cry, i think that was the hardest for me. Because hes strong. And just to see him break broke me. I asked him to cut my hair, but hes like no. I let him know, you know, were with you. And were not going anywhere. Rhiaana, shes very strong. Shes always defending him, looking after him. She doesnt show her weak side, regardless of the situation. Its hard for people to understand him. When hes trying to say something, theyre like, I Cant hear you. Say that one more time . And then i say that thing he said and they say oh, i get it now. Are you going to go . Youre going to go with us . Yes . Okay. Okay. Time to go to school. She has adhd, and she is on the spectrum. Because of her disability and her Learning And Speech kids tend to make fun of her and call her names. And there was a couple of occasions where we both witnessed some of the bullying. And we would bring it up to the attention of the principal and they would be like oh, well, i need to get the story from the other student. Im like what are you talking about . Like i just saw how it happened. Rhianna, time to go to bed. I feel like because of Everything Weve neglected her. Not on purpose, of course. But because, you know, ive had to stay in the hospital to take care of him. Sweet dreams. Those were her years of her development. Love you. Love you too. Mornings were made for better things than Rheumatoid Arthritis. When considering another treatment ask about xeljanz, a pill for adults with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. Xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had Hepatitis B or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and Blood Clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Dont let another Morning Go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than eight years ago.

So we didnt bring the girls to even see him until march, when he was feeling better. As soon as i saw him i was like oh, its just dad. A few days after that i was like, i want to help him. Im going to be his nurse and im going to work in this hospital and im going to help everybody. Later on down the road, he had a flesheating bacteria because he was freaking out because he was getting really sick. And i was, like, oh, my god, whats going to happen . He had this open wound.

When we would get to, like, close to the end of the month, wed have to pack up and do it all over again. We were going to the Food Banks to get food. I guess the time that it really hit me was when we had our first homecooked meal in the hotel. It was just three of us, and we had made a pot of spaghetti the same size as if we were still all five of us back at home. This is the hotel we were at. Me and my sister would share that bed. Theres still red marks from when i dyed my hair. On the ground. Oh, my gosh. We lived out of laundry bags. Theyd be down here and then id fold clothes and stack it up here.
