My name is Margaret. I have been a professional
for twenty years. I’m always
how sorrow and pain can bring such wonderful gifts as wisdom, patience and love.
, we often get so caught up in the daily necessities and routines that we
the very things that can bring us
and teach us many valuable lessons.
I was hired to
a very special lady. I was to prepare meals for her, make sure she took her medicine
, do light housekeeping, and provide transportation to and from the market and her doctor’s appointments. All of these
were important and necessary so that she could remain
. Our focus was just that -
her to remain living independently.
It was on a cold rainy night. She turned her little head and smelt her
pillow after she had
got into bed. I observed tears running from her eyes. She said, “It’s been such a long time since I’ve had
sheets; I love the
of fresh clean sheets. I couldn’t
the sheets myself anymore. Thank you so much for changing my sheets. ”
Such a simple
as smelling clean sheets brought such great joy to her life. That was the day I
unconditional care. The next day we sat down and
what was important to her, what she liked, and how she had done things all these years. I never knew how much I would enjoy and learn from her
her life experiences with me. She was the sunshine in my life.
I’m so
for the lessons I have learned - the lessons I almost
because I forgot to slow down to look and see the beauty that was right in front of me.
