What Is Lonnie's Room?

There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.

Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."

Extraordinary Encounters

Charles Lauer wrote an editorial in which he said, "Wherever you go, there are fascinating people ready to make your acquaintance."  I have experienced that in the last two weeks by working with some extraordinary and remarkable people facing life altering transitions. Their love, their determination, their ability to hold on to hope, and their celebrations of life are inspirations.  Those we care for thank us for the jobs we do, but in actuality, we thank them for teaching us because in the nakedness of grief, we become a shadow of ourselves........ we dim in comparison to those who are living it.  God bless all the families who are facing a life transition and know you have my greatest respect and compassion.

    You should write a book. Your thoughts cover universal themes related to all of our life's losses.
