Today I had one of those moments that reminds me exactly why I do what I do.
I sat on the edge of the bed with a 94-year-old woman as she began telling me about her life. She started with her very first day of kindergarten — even describing the exact clothes she was wearing. From there she walked me through elementary school, growing up, meeting her husband, and the stories of her parents and in-laws.
My time had technically been up, but I wasn’t in any hurry to leave. I just sat there and listened.
The details she remembered, the love she had for the life she’s lived, and the stories she carried with her were incredible. I found myself completely fascinated and honestly in awe.
Sometimes caregiving isn’t just about helping someone through their day. Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to hear a lifetime.
Moments like this are a gift, and I’m so grateful I get to experience them. 💙
