My angel

You were one of the first people I ever took care of as a caregiver. I was sad to see you go home to the Lord in your mid fifties.

I will never forget you.

I loved the way you always asked for peach yogurt specifically- just like me.

I will miss brushing your teeth and making a warm cup of coffee for you every afternoon you came home from adult school.

I will never forget the time you dressed up as a baby for halloween.

I will miss all of your stories about your family back home, and your family photo albums you loved showing me.

I will miss your fun seasonal nail polish you always modeled. You were always so excited to show me what new color you had on.

I will definitely miss tucking you in bed at night, seeing the smile on your beautiful face. You loved to sleep.

I still have the crafty pineapple you made for me at school. It’s in my room, and will always remain there.

Most of all, I will miss How you made others feel. Everywhere you went, you filled the room with absolute joy, because of your love. Your love for others and your enthusiasm in the little things reminded me how precious life is. Even the way you would call my name made me feel valued and loved. I never got a chance to say goodbye to you, angel, but I know I will see you in Heaven one day.
