Dad opened the folder and placed the first page in front of Delphine.<\/p>\n
It was the registration record for Bright Path Home Services.<\/p>\n
Then came the invoices, my caregiving logs, bank transfers into Travis\u2019s clinic, and certified copies showing exactly where Mom\u2019s care money had gone.<\/p>\n
