Goodbyes.


Today I said goodbye to my sweet friend Joan. The family is gathered around her as they say their own goodbyes now. I've never learned so much from a person before as I have serving Joan. She is a spiritual giant, it doesn't take her words to feel that. Everyone who has ever come into her life has left it a better person and was blessed by her. Although working for her really challenged me some days; it was the best job I have ever had, it was an honor to be with her the last two years and I will miss her friendship. I will never forget how she held my hand when I was having a bad day. We got to laugh and cry a lot together. I love you Joan and I hope your pain will be over soon. I am so very comforted that you may sing, eat, breathe, and walk again... Thank you for everything. I love you.

  3. what a blessing to have had each other. Your reunion will be so sweet and fun on the other side. I am thankful you got to know Joan and her family and that they had the opportunity to know what a great person that you are. You have always had a tender spot for the elderly and that is a great talent. Love you so much, mom
