WEEK 1 IN HOSPICE

It hasn't been a full week yet, but we have come to love the people in Angela hospice.  They are there whenever we need them and what a loving, caring group.  Just outstanding!!!!
Terry's week has been a series of mini-roller coasters.  Sometimes she is incoherent, an hour later she is cracking a joke or correcting the words in a song I might be trying to sing to her.  She will be despondent and then smiling.  She loves to have visitors but then she has to sleep-and sleep she does for hours and hours.  She loves massages, kisses and hugs.  We have an abundance of all of the above and give them to her liberally.  We have sent e-mail blasts to everyone on our computer address books asking for cards and well wishes.  In 4 days she received 178 cards, including 27 from her fellow high school class of '59.  Others have also forwarded my request to people in their address books.  Monika Gough sent my request to the Dream Foundation and it has been approved to set things in motion to have that group request and generate cards for Terry.  We are overwhelmed by the love in the world.  Each card Terry has received brought a smile, a laugh and some memories.  PRICELESS!
God bless you al.
