I haven't worked in a facility for a few years now. I had forgotten the loneliness,the desperation,the sadness. I had also forgotten the slower pace,the thank-you's,the kiss on my hand from a woman in her wheelchair with the same name as my grandma. The old man with his violin and a long song list. He asked me to pick a song any song.I picked You are my sunshine. Then he played it with his one eye bandaged up and his skinny, shaking arms. He was so happy I was standing there listening.I was happy I had wandered into his room.
The rewards are so wonderful they more than make up for the nasty tasks that come along with taking care of daily needs of the elderly.
Thanks to the bad weather of yesterday last night I am now 2 days behind in class. I am not worried. I am getting there. It also gave me a few more days to study for my test.
I am looking forward to Eli coming on valentines day to spend the night with me.
Thank you for all my blessings Lord.
