New team member for Hook Home Help

This week my daughter joined the team. Previously she shadowed the person who was leaving to get to know the clients and how they like things done. We also met a new client who is recently out of hospital and lives far from her family. She asked if we had time to chat and we did. 

She told us all about her children and their partners and where they all lived and how they all were. She talked about her husband who had passed away 40 years ago but the way she spoke about him made us both shed a tear. His photo is everywhere and she pointed to one and said, “There he is, in his uniform, looking so handsome.” 

We both gulped and blinked and tried not to cry. 

In the same afternoon we found out that one of our regular clients has sadly gone into hospital and won’t be home for some time. We will go and visit him when he feels well enough. 

Then she met another gentleman who announced that he has had enough of Christmas and gave her all his leftover Christmas cards!

Just one afternoon of interactions with all different people helping where we can.
