My Dad's birthday

Sunday is my Dad's birthday and how sad it is that my Dad isn't here anymore. My mother sent a small check to put some flowers on his grave which I shall do and perhaps a cake or something like that. The sadness and guilt is quite profound or I can't even find the words to really express myself. It just doesn't seem right although I know that lots of people go through far deeper issues than this it just really took something away and makes me realize that nothing will ever be right again.

Volunteering rocks!

I'm a volunteer for the Littleton Regional Hospital and how wonderful it is! My position is a roaming volunteer and I go in and out of all the rooms and visit with the patients, see if I can get them water, adjust lights, curtains, tv, get magazines, newspaper or just talk. I also take away a lot of food trays, get tissues. I will sometimes take patients out in wheelchairs so they arnen't stuck in their room so much. It is highly rewarding except that it doesn't pay and so the fact that my only job is a volunter does make things a little tight....he he. I have my favorite patient and I sure hope I get to see her again.
