Learning To Love Again

My Heart Has Been Broken Since the day Mrs. Ann went to be with the Angels above. Her smile could light up any room. She held my hand daily and passed Unconditional Love through her Soul. She taught me patience and Strength. Mrs. Ann was one of a kind and in our short time together we built a bond of Happiness together. She will forever live on in my Heart as my Sunshine~ ๐ŸŒž I'm Blessed to have been given a piece of her time on this earth. Our time together Humbled my Heart in so many unspoken ways. Forever my Love ๐Ÿ’

Posting for Sam, momโ€™s hospice aid.

My Tuesdays and Fridays are not the same thatโ€™s for sure. She touched my heart in a way I didnโ€™t know possible. She didnโ€™t have to say a word although I did get a few here and there because her eyes always spoke to me for her. Thank you for sharing this with me and also sharing your mom. My heart goes out to you all! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Joshua GauntThank you Brandon! She took half my heart with her and you always have the other half. I canโ€™t thank you enough for everything you did to make it possible for me to spend as much time with Mom towards the end! You did so much and I am forever grateful. I love you!

Mom, a registered nurse and true hero!

A Nurse's Heart In scrubs of blue, a gentle hand, A healer's touch throughout the land. With weary eyes and tender care, They ease the pain, dispel despair. Through sleepless nights and endless days, They watch their patients, find new ways To mend the broken, soothe the strife, And bring back hope, a second life. With empathy and understanding deep, They walk beside, when spirits weep. A beacon bright, a guiding star, Their hearts are pure, their souls are far. So let us praise these angels bright, Whose selfless deeds bring joy and light. For in their care, we find our peace, And in their love, our hearts release.
