Simply passing on the good stuff...

Life comes at each of us at a blinding pace. We instant message, overnite ship and even nuke our food. We've become a generation of impatient folks. We are becoming less and less patient or understanding that everyone on this planet is dealing with LIFE.

How hard is it to hold a door open for an elderly person? Or let someone cut in front of you in heavy traffic? Are they really going to hold you up so much that your daily schedule will be all off kilter for one act of kindness?

Why is that we jump at the chance to blurt off a list of things that are wrong with the service we receive and not once do we ever write or tell a manager when someone has gone above and beyond???

I challenge each of you and MYSELF to pass on the Good stuff, one person at a time we can possibly brighten someone's day. It may even be you on the receiving end!

Life as it ends

The past 4 1/2 years my father in law's health has been in a steady decline. January 1, 2004 my mother in law discovered him lifeless in their bathroom floor. After administering CPR she and God were able to bring him back. The months that followed, entailed a triple bypass, the installation of a pacemaker/defibulator and countless dashes to the hospital.

In November of that same year we celebrated his 80th birthday. All of our family counted themselves extremely blessed to be able to share this momentous occasion with him. God had given us our Papa for a bit longer.

As is customary, the son's recounted their childhood with their dad. How they would send him letters while he was at sea during his 30 plus years in the Navy. The time when my husband was born and their dad was quarantined with the mumps. How mad Papa was when he found out that the 2 middles sons had dug a cave underneath their house...and a thousand other tales.

This week we lost our beloved Papa. As we sang Amazing Grace he slipped into paradise.

And I sit here and gather my thoughts about death. I think of how honored we were to witness his passing. A man who loved his family enough to endure a World War, Vietnam and over 30 plus years of military service. A man who worked an additional 20 yrs drilling wells. A man who built a home for his family with his own 2 hands (and their help of course). A man who survived stomach, lung and breast cancer. A man who loved God and walked the walk of a righteous man. A man who wouldn't call you a daughter in law or son in law- you were a son or a daughter to him. There was no step grandchildren, they were grandchildren. If you entered the family you stayed family even after divorce.

As joyous as a birth can be, this experience was equally as precious. We know that he wanted the suffering to end. His favorite thing was listening to his boys play guitar and sing which they did to the very last breath. His life as it ended was a precious memory that I am blessed to have experienced.

When you cease to exist...

While visiting the ICU last week, I encountered a deceased patient. This is not a common occurance, but people do die in hospitals every day across the nation. After years of working in one, it's not my first and won't be the last.

I was making my way to visit my father in law, who is a patient, and overheard this conversation. "This is (name witheld) on floor 11 MICU we are releasing a body to the morgue."

I understand that privacy laws are in place and healthcare providers have to be on their toes not to violate a patient's privacy if it can be helped. It really bothered me that a few minutes ago, or maybe an hour...I don't know... that "body" was Mr or Mrs. So-and-so. He or she has a family, held a job, lived a life. From one minuted to the next you go from a person to a body.

That just kind of irked me.
