True Love...
I have gone from Child Care to Adult Care. They are
both extremely rewarding and I'm enjoying my new job a lot. It was
really hard to go back to work after almost 4 years, but now that I'm
back, it's working out really well.
At the moment, I have two clients I'm taking care of. The first is a couple, the man is 96 and the woman is 94. I fix them dinner and take them for a walk around their neighborhood, shop for them and take them to their doctor appointments. I have never seen anything like this couple. It is almost unbelievable. Before either of them does anything, they consult the other and ask that their significant other go first. With everything! They call each other Honey and sweetie. They, each of them, want the other to have the best piece of cake, the first drink of water, etc. The woman, as tiny and frail as she is, insist that she be the one to help him out of the chair. She does this by bracing herself and pulling until he stands up. Each time he stands up, he gives her a kiss and says.."Thank you love of my life." She says.."Yes darling, always."
Gaaaa! They have brought me to tears several times..
On Tuesdays, I take care of a man in his late 80"s. I water his orchard and wash his clothes. He won't let me do anything else. He mostly wants companionship. He will have me sit for almost the entire time I'm there sometimes, to listen to his stories. He is very intelligent and is a Scientist who invented several inventions. He's not making this up, I've seen the proof. He is a Millionaire and lives by the country club in my town.
He is also somewhat of a Mafia Guy. He grew up in New York, hung out with several sorts and went to all the clubs like the Copacabana. He hung out with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. He cusses like crazy and he is really a character.
This was our conversation today, and I'm not sugar coating it, LOL.
John---Dear, what are you doing?
Me---I'm cleaning up a little in your kitchen John.
John---Well stop and get your ass in here!
Me---I'm almost done, do you need something?
John---Yeah, I need you to get your ass in here.
Me---Ok, here I am, what do you need?
John---Nothing, sit down, I want to tell you a story.
Me--Ok, go ahead. (hoping he doesn't quiz me like he did after the last story)
John---I was married to the most wonderful woman, did I tell you she was a fashion Model with the top Modeling agency in New York?
Me---You sure did..
John---Well, after receiving money from my inventions, we moved out here and started our family. With our first child, I bought her a Mink coat. With the second child, a set of Waterford crystal. With the third child, this house, the Country Club and her Cadillac. Nothing and I mean nothing was too good for her. I would have bought her the Moon if I could.
Me---That's really nice John, she was a very beautiful woman. (She was gorgeous!)
John---You better believe it. Has your husband bought you any Waterford?
Me--No, not yet.
John---You tell him I'm gonna kick his ass if I ever come across him.
Me---Ah, it's ok John, that type of stuff really isn't important to me.
John---God Dam*#it, it doesn't matter, that jackass should still shower you with gifts like that, God Dam*#it!
Me---Do you need a drink of water John?
John---Has he ever given you a mink coat?
Me---(err, almost afraid to tell him no, a hit man might show up at my front door) No John, but I never wanted one.
John---Well, isn't that a bunch of Fu*#ing crap! What the hell kind of asshole is your husband? Go in my wifes closet and pick yourself out a Mink.
Me---No, that needs to go to your kids!
John---They've already come in here and done their picking, I'll do whatever the hell I want to with the rest, now get your ass in there and pick one out.
OMG......
The phone rings and he forgets what he asked, haha, I mean ordered me to do. Thank God.
He then proceeds to instruct me on how to can plums. He sat there and showed me step by step. I canned almost 6 freakin jars.
He also mentioned I must drive my asshole husband crazy because I had to keep asking questions. He wanted to know what my level of education was, hahahaha.
I just love this man, LOL
