Last night, I went to my overnight shift to one of my greatest client. I saved her life. She's having surgery this morning. It feels good hearing her calling my name and said: Josie, you didn't have to come. I know you're not doing it for money, but you know my fear if hospital. You comfort me. You're no longer my caregiver. You're my friend. She called up her children, and they started calling me. It feels great! I have a purpose. I am alive. I'm not just existing. Bringing comfort to someone in their lonely time, or their last moment....what greatest achievement there is? She was smiling. I hold her hands and all of a sudden the hospital becomes a luxury hotel room. If I never accomplish nothing more in this life. I will always cherish all my moments being a caregiver. To be trusted. To be considered as a friend and as a family. To bring smile and peace to someone face. I'm pastor Josie. I believe in treat others as you would like to be treated- I lived by the Golden rules.
