Bruce was becoming an American icon about the same time i was becoming friends with Cheryl (1979).
Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?
Maybe.
Can’t recall the last time.
A simple gesture gave me hope yesterday.
The wait of 37 years came with no expectation.
Hope that i am changing in order to be a better nursing home visitor.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
When someone lives a long time (think 80, 85, 90+), we can begin to feel (because we hope it will happen) like they’ll live forever.
One slip, one sudden or tough illness, or simply Mother Nature wearing out and the departure to the afterlife quickly begins.
The time to be ready is before it happens.
Yeah, looks good on paper but who have you witnessed do it?
Most of us answer, “No one.”
So how do you do it?
My theory – be intentional.
Say the things (now) you would want to say if the end was certain.
Ask the questions you’ll regret never asking.

Winfield is behind the curtain. A 15-year old is bedside.
Winnie, can you help my Dad?
i know you’re 101 year-old, bed-ridden body leaves you physically incapacitated, but my goodness, your mind – your mind is astonishing.
Can you help me, educate me, and encourage me to develop a deeper and wider wisdom about what it’s like to stare death in the face every day?
And through this and with this, help my 90-year old Father-in-Law fight a good fight every day.

Walt Elias Disney was not a model of physical health.
Until we walk a mile in another person’s shoes, we have no idea what they are going through.
Each night as i floss my teeth, i am reminded that we are a product of our priorities.
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to never cross the line in using my observations of others to help me shape my priorities.
There are things like disease and accidents that no matter what you do, you may have to fight battles you never imagined.
Not going to “sugar-coat” this. Flossing teeth is tedious, time consuming, and boring.
And so it goes.
