Recognition to My SuperHelper Mila

Sniff. More sniff. Sob! My SuperHelper Mila left for a vacation two days ago. It was at that moment when she strolled away with my Allied Bank trolley bag I realized how long she had served me (more than five years!) and how much she loved my whole family, including my dog, Rocky. Yes, she shed a considerable amount of tears when my daughter hugged her tight and said, "See you in two weeks!" We truly have become HER family. I appreciate that. Let me correct that statement. I MORE THAN appreciate that.

A few years back, an affluent woman mentioned to me how sickening it was to be conversing comfortably with a helper. This, she commented about a friend of hers she saw laughing WITH her helper. She referred to it as a downgrade of one's personality and status. I could not blame her for being who she is, aristocratic and all. However, I do feel she is missing out on a special kind of loyalty and love that can evolve from building close ties with your helper. The kind that would abandon their whole future just to be able to serve you.

As I wait for her return, I would like to express my gratitude to her unmatched service and love to my family. She is and will always be PART of MY family. I miss Mila. I heart Mila.
