Mar. 8th, 2004 11:43 pmSo has anyone else grown incredibly fond of the band "The Darkness"?
I adore them. Officially adore them.
Work was fun today. Spent the whole day in the community with the clients. Volunteers was totally depressing though. Took one of the clients to the nursing home, just down the way from HDC. I spent most of the time there with one of the residents, one that has severe dementia, and it was so saddening. She was extremely disoriented, and kept telling me that she wanted to go to her mother, and that she wanted to see her husband, and that I needed to meet her children, and that she loves her children, and that she's crazy, and that she wants to go home, and is she a good woman or a bad woman, and that she wants to go home, and that her children are beautiful, and that she wants to go home, and that I'm a very nice sweet person, and that she wants to go home, and that I'm one of God's gifts to Earth because I'm so very nice, and that she wants to go home, and that it's so cold and she's scared, and that she wants to go home. All I could do was hold her hand, and tell her that she's safe, and that we all enjoy her company, and all that I really wanted to do was bash her over the head, or stab her through the chest, not because I'm a cruel person, but because I'm a humane person, and because her suffering hurt her, and it hurt me too. I believe those who can care for themselves deserve life, and those who have someone who cares for them deserves assisted living, but only if they want it. She didn't want to be there. She kept saying she wanted to leave, and she wanted to go home. She's obviously religious, and her mother obviously is no longer living, home to her was probably death.
