Have you ever watched someone wither away? Most of us have seen an elderly person we know shrink in stature, quickly becoming a shell of their former self. What happens though when this person is someone we loved and been with for years, a partner in life? I can be devastating to a person’s psyche,…

Am I dreaming? I have to be! Right? Normally, they say “pinch yourself” to see if it’s a dream. My dreams are a little more intense. I can feel pain in my dreams, so pinching doesn’t do the trick. Usually, I can tell, or I die. Since I’m not dead, and I woke up (yes,…

Never has anything so beautiful every enter my eyes and pierce my soul as what I just witnessed less than an hour ago. It was a pleasantly unexpected sight, that I can’t get out of my head. What I witnessed was so beautiful, in fact, that I had a difficult time concentrating on words that…

How do you tell someone you’re done? How do you tell them their services are no longer needed? As with everything in life, it depends on the situation for sure.
