Something so amazing happened yesterday, I thought I’d make a nice thread where people can put nice uplifting things that happened to them, or they saw or heard about. Everyone needs a lift now and again.
What triggered me to start this thread.
It’s actually gonna make some people gag but… something negative had something very positive happen within it.
- My neighbour called yesterday fairly early Saturday morning. (I was in my dressing gown producing music). Her 95 yr old husband was unable to move & was in a bad position of needing personal care, I said, no problem, call an ambulance and il go to my car and get some personal health care supplies from work I keep.
As my neighbour in need couldn’t stand or move, I needed help.
- My trans step daughter with tough learning challenges (Autism) had to assist me as my neighbour didn’t have any strength in his legs.
My step daughter is 18.
Ive done a lot of different NHS health care work in the last 5 years and I don’t think it’s conceivable to imagine anyone untrained to cope as well as she did,
-seeing a 95 year old man in the most un dignifying position imaginable of personal care needs. (I’m talking about the brown stuff being very much where it shouldn’t be. Yes ….that)
My step daughter coped incredibly. Didn’t get upset once, didn’t complain. Just did exactly what I asked her even though each time I said, you really don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but if you feel comfortable can we try this etc.
Afterwards an hour or so later, we hugged, she even hugged the man’s wife and looked so happy, smiling so much when she repeatedly thanked her.
Now I am more confident than ever that in the not too distant future she could be an incredible care worker or a similar job.
I couldn’t be more proud.
.
In a few weeks her and her partner are moving out from mine and my wife’s home into the flat I own, I will rent it out to them.
Giving someone independence can sometimes be scary but is often necessary. Now I’m very confident that it will be much more manageable than I feared. They are the happiest I’ve ever seen them.
(my neighbour is doing okay now)
