Stacey and Vicky

This morning, Mum's lovely carers, Stacey and Vicky, breezed in to see Mum and tend to her; when Mum was sitting in the chair, Stacey combed Mum's hair and arranged it into two bunches. 

Mum looks so sweet and so much younger with that hair style, and I said, "It takes years off her!"

Stacey said, "Oh! I've got a little present for your Mum!" 

She had left it in the car, and ran back to collect it.

Stacey had bought Mum some beautiful hair clips and she slid them over the bands holding Mum's hair in place. Mum was thrilled to bits, and I was so touched and delighted at Stacey's kindness. 

It was such a wonderful thought, and I reckoned it should not go unrecorded! I grabbed the camera and Stacey sat by Mum whilst Vicky held up a cuddly rabbit Wendy gave Mum last Easter, persuading Mum to smile for the photo. 

Caring is a demanding job, but it shows how much more our lovely ladies put into it - it's not just about washing and dressing Mum, it's also about making her feel special and pretty and loved. 

And they do.
