I took care of my grand mother years ago before she passed away. During that experience, I learn a lot especially with her suffering a stroke and stopped talking. It was very difficult on daily basis seeing her like that. she was my favorite grand ma, we were really very close. I learned to communicate with her with our eyes. She will tear up a lot which makes it even more difficult for me but I gave her baths daily and fed her. I like the fact that I was able to do that for her. I already naturally enjoy senior company and I think that makes it easy to deal with the situation. I currently work in the social services industry, helping the poor and needy daily and I have been doing this over 18 years.
