OUR STORIES ARE PART OF OUR EXPERIENCE
Life has certainly not been easy for her – but look at her. She is full of love and energy. Every day she asks me to play her favourite music and put her TV show on for her.
That's how it's been for three years now – we keep each other company. I live alone in England; she became a widow several years ago. So it is no longer just a working relationship - as the days have gone by, our affection has grown. For me, now, she will always be Miss Emmy.
