Come Together

As I reflect on the past couple of weeks and look ahead to next week at Arlington National Cemetery several thoughts come to mind (yes... I do think once in awhile :).) One big one comes from taking care of Grandpa. As I would wash his body, make his food, massage his legs, and clean his wounds he would tell me "I don't know anyone else that would do this for me... Thank you!". What he didn't know is that his and Mom's spirit inspired all of us to do this for each other and that by helping others in our environment is like doing these things for him also. Look to those around you. Be sure that the people in your immediate life have food, a loving touch, and support to heal. Don't let our differences separate us but let our differences help us respect and appreciate our uniqueness.
