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.
