Then out of the blue would come that day when something clicked and a bright smile would come across their face. In that smile is what makes everyday, every struggle every act of treating them with dignity whether they are "in or out" worth it!

The other wonderful residents I have grown so fond of were there waiting for me. I found this story at the right time in my life. Thanks so much
