that is unfortunate may her soul rest in peace

many people don't actually realize how valuable their life itself is until they get an experience like that. it kind of shocks it into you.

Cindy:

Though I've been away seemingly forever on here, permit me to say that you've made a TREMENDOUS impact in so many lives in so many ways and truly "walk the walk" of the care and share philosophy.  Being on the frontlines of medical practice and also being the boss at your particular venue, you do the allegorical heavy lifting.  Cry, girl, cry ... surely, you deserve to do so.    Then, let peace, tranquility and love bathe you.  We of Susan's Place love you immensely.   

Peace & Joy       Lacey Lynne

So nicely put. Lacey Lynne.
Be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa luv

A bit of levity.

You are right. My problems have yet to hit the age of majority. May our problems pass soon.

I cry all the time. You have to.

I don't work in medicine these days, and I've never been in your role, but I've seen a lot of death and disease. It's hard. The sorrow is not for the dying or the dead.

The rest of us have to keep going, and find balance.

I do think my life is hard, and my problems are not minor. I'm not going to list tragedies, because that's not the point, but it is good to be reminded occasionally that simply being alive is pretty sweet.

What you are doing is important. Thank you for doing your job.
