Thank you Terry, it's very nice to hear that we are appreciated! Hospice is
especially difficult, but I think it was one of the most rewarding things I
ever did. I consider it an honor to be allowed to help people finish there
time here on earth with as much comfort and dignity as possible. As far as
the source, I know, I know, but it's really a hot button for me-someone so
obviously superiour to me should have some idea what a hard job it is, you'd
think! Ahh, well-I just have to remember that there really are not that
many people who look down their noses at aides. And damned few once it's
them or their family member in care!
