dzdiva 7 #1 October 1, 2004 Each day I learn so much through my work and my patients. I've had to say good-bye to 2 people over the past two weeks. They were not only my patients, but they became my friends. One is gone and the other will be meeting the angels soon. I feel blessed to have gotten to know these two beautiful ladies. They were faced with a challenge that they took on with grace, strength and dignity. Over the past few years there have been many hugs, many tears, an enormous amount of love and alot of laughter. They've fought the good fight and I have nothing but love and respect for them.Take the time this weekend to let your loved ones know you care. Share a smile with a stranger, a giggle with a friend and enjoy all that you are blessed to have. Don't let opportunities pass you by.

Brian425 0 #3 October 2, 2004 Made me want to give you a hug. You sound like a special person and the world is better becuase you are here. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the natural cycle of life and death. Life is what you make it, and death is inevitable. Wait, wait, wait, I thought life was like a box of chocolates! Damn, I'm confused. Diva, it's nice that you get to share your compassion with people who need it. Sometimes I think that the only comfort that is true is that we all will know peace when this life is done. Maybe that's part of why people can accept their own deaths with grace and dignity -- because they believe and know that ultimate peace is coming.
