...To those who serve unselfishly-bringing light into darkest corners with a warm smile
or a tender touch...
To those who give lovingly from their hearts daily
to perfect strangers who have been
placed in their care...
To those who provide unceasingly
To those who provide unceasingly
remarkable levels of dignity, respect, comfort, and support
to the terminally ill...
To each of the professionals and volunteers
of health care and hospice
systems worldwide
who bolster inner strength and peace in so many...
who serve from their hearts
and
love from their souls...
You are the best.

How timely. I just came in from a looooooooong day, 2.5 hours of which was spent helping a young woman with bi-polar disorder (off meds) having a bit of a crisis in the middle of a restaurant. My friend Lynn pointed me here to your blog post and when I read the first six lines, I wondered how you knew I had been caring for a perfect stranger today. Then I saw the hospice connection. Thank you for the beautiful flaming heart tribute.
I just found your blog and am thoroughly enjoying all your work. I live in Phoenix. Your heart makes me think of the policeman who was just killed. They give it all.
My friend Lolo sent me this link. I work for Hospice and this tribute is so warm and so great to hear. I love the heart and the words.
Would you mind if I printed this out and placed it in my Hospice binder? The rest of my volunteer friends would love to read it as well.
Margaret if you haven't already you might like to read Kelly's posted story today on her blog here http://kikipotamus.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/i-shall-sleep-well-tonight/#comment-19659
