As a young child living up the street from a senior citizen building. I remember just stand at A secured door just waiting at for the door to open, and after I got in I would go door to door asking is there anything I can do to help I didn't mind washing dishes, taking out the trash or going to the store. I would just love listening to some of the stories they would tell or just engaging in some of the conversations we had.I love elderly people. At this time I was like 11 or 12 years of age and sometimes I feel cheated because my mom pasted away she was 57. I think I was practicing or getting ready for my life ahead because I have a lot of patience and a loving heart and I think and feel that taking care of elderly people is my calling and when I say that, That's my gift from God. To be a good person at heart.
