Sad day for me.

As many of you know, i work with the mentally handicapped. Well, the man that i have been takeing care of for the past 4 months, who grew very near and dear to my heart, passed away at 4:35 this morning. See, his family had nothing to do with him. his sisters, the only remaining members, said he did not exist to them. The only family he had were his caregivers. And with him in ICU, non of us were able to be there. He died alone. I do not understand how anyone could disown thier family just because they are mentally retarded. they are still human beings with feelings and emotions.

The funeral is tommorrow, and the agency i work for asked me to be Pall Bearer. i told them it would be an honor.

Sorry, I'm just sad and needed to get this off my chest.
