Caregiving Story

I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY CLIENTS OVER NINE YEARS, THERE IS A STORY FOR THEM ALL. HOWEVER, THE TWO THAT STAND OUT THE MOST ARE OF MR. C.COLMEN,SR, AND MRS. P.SMITH. MR.COLMEN WAS ONE OF THOSE CLIENTS THAT MANY WOULD CONSIDER "STUBBORN" EVEN HIS FAMILY THOUGHT SO. THE LAST PART OF MY INTERVIEW INVOLVED ME OF COURSE MEETING THE CLIENT AND HIS FAMILY TO SEE HOW WE WOULD GET ALONG. THAT FIRST DAY, HIS DAUGHTER SAID THAT HE WAS SWEET BUT COULD BE DIFFICULT. I SMILED, AND TOLD THEM THAT HE AND I WOULD GET ALONG JUST FINE, I COULD HANDLE HIM. FROM THAT DAY ON WE BECAME CLOSE, AND AT TIMES HE WOULD GET "STUBBORN", BUT I WOULD REMIND HIM THAT I WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE AND THAT HE COULDN'T RUN ME OFF THAT EASILY. HE WAS A LAWYER, AND TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE, SINCE I WASN'T BACKING DOWN FROM HIM. HE ONCE TOLD ME THAT I REMINDED HIM OF HIS WIFE, BECAUSE I WAS SO CARING AND WOULDN'T TAKE HIS "MESS", I TOLD HIS DAUGHTER WHAT HE HAD SAID AND SHE SAID THAT IF HE SAID THAT, THEN HE REALLY THOUGHT A LOT OF ME BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THE WORLD OF HER. THEN THERE IS MRS. SMITH. FROM DAY ONE SHE "FELL IN LOVE" WITH ME. WE MOSTLY SHARED OUR COOKING TECHNIQUES (WELL SHE TAUGHT ME HERS) WITH EACH OTHER, BUT JUST BEING AROUND HER AND LISTENING TO HER TALK ABOUT LIFE WAS AMAZING.
