I think my destiny is to work with and for senior citizens. I keep getting all these signs. I am in Plano visiting my brother. He just moved there, this is the first time I’ve seen his new town and house. Down the street from my house is this rinky dink gym. I walked over there to get a workout in and use the shower, because of course when I come to visit the plumbing breaks at his house. The receptionist is a 77y/o man named Rick. We talked for almost an hour. He got diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago and is going in for 2 back to back operations on his lymph nodes and throat next week. We talked about his treatment, his emotions about it all. Who will be taking care of him. He was so excited and full of enthusiasm for my work, too. He took my number so he could show where I work to his wife. As we parted he said, I hope you come back soon. I hope I get back to work soon! And I told him “oh I KNOW you will be back. Don’t worry”

This is a very touching story. It's great that you took the time to talk to Rick and support him through such a difficult time. Moments like this really show how important it is to connect with people, especially those who are facing difficulties. It sounds like working with the elderly is not just your destiny, but a calling that brings you joy and meaning. I hope Rick is feeling better and that you can continue to do what you love! How do you plan to use this experience in your work?
