Showing love

I love giving a smile to people that don’t have one. I have a special place  in my heart for showing love to people that don’t feel loved. I am a natural caregiver and nurturer. I have taken care of my parents. My father had heart disease. My mother had several strokes and heart disease. I had a sister with cancer and another sister that had several strokes as well. I love to sing and laugh as well so hopefully whoever I am called to work with I can bring them joy as well as they can bring me the same.
