what is your fondest memory? Posted: 05-08-08 13:48pm
IN caregiving i know that i have many fond
memories---last summer(im a fishing nut)
we took the guys out fishing---just to see
the joy on their face when they got a fish
was priceless! Not only that but the fact
that they looked to me for approval for a
good job done was awesome---i really
matter to those guys----knowing that i
make life better for them and that they
love me for that makes life totally worth
it. even though to a lot of people i may
just be the girl down the street. to them
im family and they are the same to me

The fondest memory I have of my patients
was to sit and listen to them talk about
the old days, their life and loves. Also
that they said things to me they couldn't
their own family members. They really
trusted me. I miss them a lot..

to a restaurant---romance was so different
back then---that kind of stuff--the
nostalgia of it all----sorry a little

I enjoy chatting with the residents when I
am cleaning their rooms. Some of them
have great stories and an amazing sense of
humor. I always feel better when I can
make them smile.
