“Our Amazing Clients” in Vesper Road
Suzie and Sonje, they are those vulnerable but amazing clients of Vesper Road. I was so impressed with both of them since they have their own unique talents displayed when I went with them on an 8 days holiday in Bridlington last 15th - 22nd July 2006.
They have their own God given capabilities. Capacities to prove that inspite of their learning difficulties, they can do something different and useful. Actually, I was the one who escorted Suzie to implement the daily plan of activities that I did prior to the event. And the other 2 staff escorted Sonje of her daily planned activities for the holiday.
Suzie and me stayed in together, with our own separate rooms in the second floor of a luxurious Carlton Hotel in Bridlington. The place is so wonderful that made me feel very relaxed and peaceful after the days activities which my client performed with my supervision. At 9:00pm Suzie usually goes to bed after having her personal hygiene routine. After that was done, my routine was to get her files and started to concentrate doing my daily reports and her finances up to 10:00pm. Then @ 11:00pm, I have got time for myself reflecting things. As I look thru my window, I felt the relief from the hard days work I have been, since the overlooking sea from my window made me think and wonder how great our Lord Almighty is to every creation. The seaside, the water, the blue sky, the different birds flying from the sky that we saw when the group went boat sailing during the day, the people and everything. God is so good, He is so great and absolutely wonderful.
On Monday 16th of July 2006 Suzie was woken up @ 8:00am. She was so excited asking me "Will I go for swimming today, Norma?" And I answered, "Yes, you are my luv." Then she hurriedly had her breakfast which she made on her own then she went to her room, prepared her clothes and swimsuit and did her personal hygiene, before going out of the hotel for swimming. Suzie and me waited for Sonje and her companies ( 2 staff )in our meeting place at Forum Complex. They came and we proceeded to go swimming. Suzie ang Sonje did well in SWIMMING which was so surprisingly done from my point of view because both of them performed very well. Suzie is brillant in back stroke and floating while Sonje is so excellent in swimming under water and is so fast. Alam nyo ba na siguro mga half kilometer lang sa paglangoy pagod na pagod na ako, wala akong sinabi, I got easily tired. I admired them for what they are, they have thier own unique ways of visible talents which should be properly guided and be utilized. God is so good to both of them. Suzie and Sonje are blessed people like us. The only difference is that, they have learning disabilities.
