correctiveshoes621Just a teeny 'lil RL triumph.
Helen Keller (I know, I know..) went to Bingo today; after eating an amazing breakfast for me (I mean, it is only common sense to cut the hardassed crusts off her french toast, so she can chew it, yo).
It may not seem like it, but it is a BIG DEAL. Bless her heart.
She was Mizz Laura's roomate for almost ten years..and I was horrified to find out that no one had even talked to her about it when Laura died. (They think that Helen can't talk..but, she CAN..she even tells me what juice she likes best..*pineapple*..loud and clear.) But, anyway..on Thursday, first chance I got, I went and talked to her a bit about Laura's passing. She understood, and nodded, and squeezed my hand when I said that I would miss her, too. I just hugged her to pieces.
But, she was full 'o beans today. And WANTED to go and socialize..she doesn't hear so well; so Squeeeee! I found Mizz D -- who is almost blind, and sat them together. D heard what numbers were called...and Helen put the markers on the card.
Such a simple solution.
God, I am so lucky to have found my job.
