Barbara gets wowed by whales

While overcoming many troubling obstacles in life, Barbara’s North Star has been giving to others. When her husband was diagnosed with dementia, Barbara retired early and devoted herself to his care. After he passed, she took on caregiving for her brother even though they hadn’t spoken in over 40 years.

Her one wish through all these years was to experience the wonder of whale watching in Alaska, and the experience did not disappoint.

“It was the best thing in the world,” she exclaimed. “You can’t get any happier than this!”
