Valeria's story

2020 January - December

Created by Melanie 3 years ago

Hello everyone, I met Ute on a Zoom call and liked her straightaway as she smiled so much.  I arrived on a sunny August day, Ute and Melanie were in the beautiful little garden full of flowers.  We got on well and Ute was like a friend, a mother and a sister to me, although also my boss.  She helped me with my English and we went for walks in the park and by the river Thames. The most beautiful adventure was when I took Ute to Watford to meet with my son.  We went to an Italian restaurant together, we laughed, we all joked, it was a wonderful day. Ute was a special woman, she liked to dress elegantly, I used to help her with her make-up every day. She loved to sit having breakfast looking at the garden, and talk about the leaves changing colour.  She had a lovely birthday although she was sad as she had never spent her birthday without her children before.  Alex and Jade came from Bluebird Care with gifts and surprises.  She was very stressed about going into St Luke’s and was sad that she would no longer be able to look out onto her beautiful garden.  On Christmas Eve we listened to Zorba the Greek, her favourite music and she was happy.
