How many miracles have you experienced in your life? I’ll bet you can’t count them. Most of us go through life without realizing that each of our lives is a miracle. Every moment of our lives is a miracle. When I was training to be a nurse, I was required to observe a surgery being […]
I feel so fortunate now that for all my loved ones who have transitioned, I was able to say whatever I wanted them to know before they died. That is such a good feeling. Feeling like I had no more I had to say freed me to have wonderful conversations with these people. We were […]
