Today made me step back and rethink a certain thick skinned elder client that I wasn’t sure even had a heart in there. But after sitting down at her table and her opening up to Elizabeth and I…..about her life growing up with no Dad from the time she was tiny, to having 5 children to raising them and now scattered all over the country, to fighting thru emotions of cancer that nearly took her youngest son, to finally being able to adopt a puppy when she was 63 years old….all of which revealed such a beautiful kind heart hidden in armor to protect that softness that she obviously doesn’t like anyone to see! She gave us both big hugs at the end and asked us to PLEASE come back SOON to visit again. She’s in her late 80’s and is in the beginning stages of dementia, yet so so sharp still. It just shows me that no matter what…..don’t judge a person by the tough exterior! There’s something BEAUTIFUL inside ALL of us if just given the chance to let that out…..❤️🙏❤️ly
