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. ”

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.
