First I love helping people who are unable to help themselves; especially the elderly, because they have a depth.of knowledge, wisdom and history; and most times can be a lot of fun, especially when rehashing memories. These are the moments I can accompany them to places and times that draws them out from loneliness and sadness, and from my experiences, it is a great place to visit with those who have been there. A family member of one of my clients, once asked me why I put up with her parent's crankiness. I told her, I try to be tolerant and caring because I would want my mom and grandma to be treated the same way. We only have one life to live, and not very long to live it, so it's important to me to live it well, by giving my best to everyone I meet, regardless of how they receive it.
