When a confused resident grabs you inappropriately

My Last Day

On my last day of work at a nursing and rehabilitation facility as a CNA, I discovered how much of an impact a helthcare provider can have on a person. Word had gotten around to the residents that it was my last day. I was making my rounds, like I would any other day during my shift, and a resident I took care of rolled up to me in her wheelchair. She then bear hugged me from the side and said to me, "I just want you to know that ever since you started working here, my life has been so much better and brighter. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I'm going to miss you, because you have the biggest heart out of anyone I've ever met." Her words are what help inspire me to keep serving others. I will never forget her or the way I felt during that moment.
