First and foremost I am a human being. I am also a mother, sister, and daughter. I am also a friend who lived with an older friend who died of cancer. I helped with every need of hers until she passed away. I still think of her daily. My best contribution was laughter. I feel now that I a m turning 40, we will all be in the same boat one day. Most of us have lost the art of caring for our older generation. Although it is a job, I feel I learn so much about life through their stories, and life experiences. I enjoy little things, like reading, cooking, looking at photo albums and another lost art of "listening".
