I have written about many things in this blog such as healthy food, giving bed baths and healthy food choices for the elderly and disabled but today is different. As a caregiver I go into the homes of the client to help them, support them and at the end of the day I love them. So when a client gets sick, hurt or dies it is heartbreaking.

Yesterday I got a call about someone that I have cared for over the last three years, this person fell. The client was hurt badly and this makes my heart hurt for them and their family. It is never a good call when someone you have taken care of, visited with, laughed with and grown with gets hurt or sick. To make this even worse the client will not be heading home after the stay at the hospital, to a nursing home. I cried most of the day. In fact I missed my college class and just went home.

What I do every day is worth it. The bad days, backaches and long days to be with these people everyday. Help make their time on this Earth as great as possible. While days like yesterday are hard and sad I will get up and go to a clients home today and each day after. I will share love and laughter knowing one day I will get a sad call about each person I care for.
