 Oh Rosey, that's it!!
Oh Rosey, that's it!! But I think it's even longer than the one that I had, so it's even better. It still makes me cry. And Labrown, I absolutely adore the posters you made. Your picture made me feel like I almost knew your grandfather! I think that's a wonderful idea and will suggest that for both me and my friend!!
I worked in an emergency room (not as a nurse but we did triage and cared for the patients for the nurses) for 5 years. That was a hard but rewarding job. HOWEVER, it's nothing like the care given by long-term caregivers. I am not typically bitter when we have bad nurses; I know that their job is hard and that they have their own family troubles to deal with. I remember one kind nurse who ran back and forth between my mom's floor and the floor on which her mother was dying. But I did want to find this way to gently remind them to look at my mom as the person she is, not as a shell of what she was. For all of you that have done or do that, you are blessings. There is a special corner in Heaven for animal lovers and caregivers. And those of you that are both get the best seat in the House!
I'm sorry if my plea brought reminders of a hard time for any of you, but I also hope that you were able to remember some special moments as well.
Thank you all so much. You are all in my prayers. I sometimes think that God has to giggle with all the YT prayers delivered to Him. I, myself, often feel blessed to be a part of this place. |
