I started out as her housekeeper--we hit it off right away. After a while, she asked me if she ever needed me, she hoped I would be available. I promised her that I would stop whatever I was doing to be with her. She had never been married or had children. Her only family lived out of state.
In April of 2004, on the day I was to go clean for her, Ms. Potter fell in her bathtub. I tried to reach her by phone to let her know that I was sick and could not make it. When she did not answer I knew something was wrong and went over there to find her still in her tub.
To this day I don't know how long she had been like that, but she was never able to be alone again. She passed away on June 17 2007. I was with her.
