Here is a fine example of the love that is found through Hospice volunteering.
The patient is a 54 year old woman suffering from Alzheimer's. Her husband contacted me last week to request a volunteer so he can attend their teenage son's baseball games (he's a relief pitcher). He also told me he "just didn't feel right" about having someone come in without payment. I told him that the people who volunteer with us are driven by a higher meaning, and their rewards come in a spiritual kind of way. "Well alright," he says, "Tell them they will have to have supper here then!"
It took me one day to find someone who will be there every time their boy has a game. (Which was me because I felt a strong passion for it)
It is such an honor to me to be a part of the greatest type of humanity. To witness the love and caring between people, to watch so many lives be touched by one act of selflessness. It's so great to know how many lives are touched by the ripples of your actions.
I was late for school because of my dear sister again. It takes her 2 hours to do her hair and I'm like. "How is that possible?" If she wakes up late then I am screwed. Stupid girl got me detention twice this month. I also saw her at school and she was like, "I need money for a yearbook." No please or anything just a demand. I also wanted to buy one and I told her, "If you wouldn't spend all your money on makeup and clothes then you would have money to buy one." I work and she sits home the while day talking on the phone and wasting her life. She blackmailed me because she said, "I'll tell dad and the WHOLE family my secret(NO, I AM NOT GAY), if you don't give me money." My eyes lit up and I was freaked out and scared to the very end. I ended up paying $170 dollars for 2 yearbooks and now I am officially broke. A while weeks pay gone down the drain because of her but I was willing to protect my secret that no one must ever know. I don't have to work this weekend because of my trip but I am going to need money for stuff over there. I had intended on having 90$ to take with me but not a chance now. I hate being manipulated by a 15 year old girl, it's rather pathetic. She doesn't seem to comprehend that she is young and stupid with no money, she has to realize that her acts are not going to help her later in life.
My day and it was horrible but there is more to come later. Sorry for this post but this was the bad part of my day. I will post the good part later on.
Tomorrow, my sister and I are taking are Mom to Humphrey Station for breakfast. This is located 20 minutes North of Clovis, near Auberry. It should be pleasant and afterwords were going to the graveyard because she wants to visit her Mothers grave. It is hard not having her around, my mom has been very sad these days but I try to comfort her but my attempts always lead to a failed assignment. Also because she has no mother to give a present too, I would be sad if my mom died. I don't think I would be able to live with myself. She is one of the 3 from both sides of my family combined that actually say I love you. The other two are my Dad and my Grandma(Dads mom). Other then that, there is no emotion. I'm not the type to say I love you because I'm not a very affeciate person, I am more of a silent and background person. When the time comes, I will be. I shall never repeat my Dads mistake of being a father, I will try to be a good father to my children, let them have there individual freedom, help them if needed. I want to be a good mentor, I don't want my children to be depressed and hide in the dark when they are older, like I am. Yes, I am going to spoil them but it's better then being ignored, right? For some reason my family wants me to have a boy because I am the last generation for both sides of my family, they want him to carry on the name. Heaven forbid if I adopt a child. Which is what I will most likely do because there are plenty of children in this world that need a parent, so why have more children? My sister and I are the type of people to like people of the opposite nationality. My sister likes blacks and latinos. I like Asians, for my own reasons. Our father will be very disappointed in us if we don't have white children but that's just something he will have to deal with. I will not allow him to insult them or myself, I will defend us both. In my view, yes, we are different on the outside but on the inside we are all the same. Don't let color or background be a factor in determining who you will love.
Anyway, I have drove off the point of this entry but yes this is how I feel. I apologize to bore you with these details but maybe you'll carry on this information on to when you have children and etc.
So, did anybody get there Mother anything for Mothers Day tomorrow?
My sister and I bought her a card, this artifact that she wanted, a frame telling her why she is a good mother and we are taking her out tomorrow for breakfast because truly we can't cook for crap.
