Dolly Parton has given the world so much through her music, generosity, faith, and unforgettable spirit.
But behind the spotlight was another role that millions of families can relate to: caregiver. In this special episode of Around the Table With Vickie, Vickie and Chris reflect on Dolly’s life, her nearly six decade marriage to Carl Dean, and the caregiving journey she experienced when his health declined. Through Dolly’s story, we explore the reality of caregiving and the importance of remembering yourself while caring for someone you love.
This is a tribute to Dolly Parton, her legacy of love and generosity, and the countless caregivers who give so much of themselves every day.
