For me, it means living independently without help from family. And doing as much as I possibly can on my own. This is why I have a 'smart' home!

to me, independance means having autonomy and control over my choices. I don't necessarily mind that there are things I can't physically do on my own, I just view independence as being able to certain things in a way that I like them done (even if that does require someone else being my arms and legs in order to do so).

Being able to travel my own road, but knowing I'm not alone; when(its not a matter of 'if', it's a matter of 'when')
I get stuck.

Being Independent as Long as I can Means I get to live My Life as I see fit. Not having to burden My Kid's with My Problems.
I was taught at a Young Age to be Independent and Stubborn. 😊
Thanks 🦋🐕

Love and caring for that person's needs especially a family member let him or her do things on their own.
