This sweet couple is a real team!

 I already talked about this here on my blog but I feel the urge to tell you something about it again. The work I do besides creative work is my healthcare job, in that job I work with new parents.  I help them to get back on their feet the first week after they have given birth. It at times is an extremely rewarding job because I get to experience the initial feeling of anxiety  turned into a feeling of it’s going to be all okay from the new parents. They start out feeling a bit panicky fresh out of the hospital with their own bundle of joy on their home couch.  But by the end of that first week they see that they can do this too, take care of their child on their own. The feeling of happiness on their faces is a huge reward ones I leave them behind after eight days.
And i get to go home with a warm feeling inside me knowing i met some really special people.

The past week I got to have that wonderful experience ones again. I worked at the home of such a lovely couple, at the end of the week I felt really sad to leave. They are a special couple, one you see very rarely. They could work so well together they started to ‘make’ things together. The cutest thing I ever heard was they knitted a sweater for their baby girl together. One of them did one arm the other did the other and so on. I was so moved  by this joint project.

Another thing they made as a team was the coolest couch you ever saw! They found an old door somewhere on the streets of Amsterdam and made it into a couch..really fabulous!
