My New Client

I have a new client. She's a forty-nine year old woman with terminal cancer. She's on Hospice, and we are there providing a personal attendant. She is AMAZING. She lives in a shack- she has almost nothing - and probably never has. When I sit with her in her little bedroom there is nothing but a calm and peaceful feeling. She talks about dying without reservation; she speaks candidly and honestly. I told her today how amazing she is, and she told me nobody has ever told her that before. Wow. What an example she is to me of faith and strength.

I am better because of her.
