You Are My Sunshine
2:35:00 PMI know many of you, more like most of you, have experienced some sort of loss in your life. Whether this loss being a loss of a loved one, friend, colleague, or acquaintance, it is difficult no matter the circumstance. When I say loss, I don't necessarily mean death…it could be anything. As many of you know I work at a care center (nursing home). Due to HIPAA rules I am not allowed to say names or give out specific details but I can tell you this…one of my residents has become a part of my family. Over the past 10 months i've worked there she has unknowingly wedged a large space in my heart just for her; we will call her my sunshine. My sunshine has Alzheimer's disease and the disease has taken over her brain to the point of no return. She doesn't remember much but she always remembers her prayers and her smiles. This lady, my sunshine, has become like a grandmother to me…only more.
