In honour of Madeleine Bedard.
Yesterday, I gained a very special angel: Madeleine Bedard.🕊️
This woman inspired me to do the work I’m doing today, to care for our seniors through meaningful companionship, love, and support.
I remember our first connection like it was yesterday. The way her spirit lit up when she saw me, the way she welcomed me with the warmest hug, completely melted my heart. But it left me wondering… why me? She barely knew me at the time.
Well, today I know the answer: we chose each other.
I chose her because she introduced me to a part of myself I didn’t fully know yet. She inspired me to become the person I am today. While I was there to care for her through the challenges of a cruel disease and life in a residence, she was still trying to take care of me.
I’ll always remember the little things, the way she rubbed my back, the way she asked me to call her when I got home safely. It takes a heart of gold to care so deeply for others despite the challenges that comes with age.
She chose me by trusting me to care for her, to be part of her journey, and to continue caring for others like her.
Today, because of her, I know that with a good heart and the right intentions, I can achieve anything, including pursuing my dream of caring for our seniors.
We may not have been family by blood, but we were family by heart.
As much as this goodbye hurts, I am grateful that she is free now. I know she will continue to guide me through this journey we started together.
To my grand-Momo… from your adoptive daughter, I love you. ❤️
