I love this Leslie! I don't have first hand experience with hospice, but I spent many years doing home health care work on the side, and met so many amazing individuals. I learned so much from the people I cared for; it was really impactful work. I love that your article was so touching for Ben, being able to see his life and loved ones from an outside perspective.

I love this. It reminds me, maybe especially relevant with Valentines Day so near, how important it is for us to share with people—the near and dear but also those we may not be so close to—that they are important and valued. I should always remember and do that, but I’ll be thinking about it a lot this week. Thank you!

Thank you, Carolyn. It is a good reminder. I remember during my sister's transition that I made sure to say everything I wanted to say. I was fortunate to be able to share my heartfelt emotions and try to do that with those around me. I am glad you're tapped into that, too.
