Visitors

They come in with a knock on the door and a smile on their face like a fresh breeze or a ray of sunshine. A brother, a sister and her husband, a loyal home health aide, old friends, they come in a slow but steady stream to my mom’s room at Hospice. And she rises for the occasion, responding to their greetings with a smile, laughing at their anecdotes as they make valiant efforts to entertain her.

I am grateful for this opportunity to see how good and kind people can be.

    So glad your mom has such wonderful folks to care for her and look after her. The visitors –whatever form they take—are a welcome part of her day, I am sure. So glad you can embrace them and accept what they have to offer her.
