So often no one really understands unless they have lived with the daily tasks of providing care to someone they love. Unfortunately, others who are clueless to the challenges don’t take time to try and understand., Imagine standing outside of the entrance to Madison Square Garden’s subway station. If you were disabled going against the crowd few would notice as they go about their business to getting inside. So similar is the daily caregiving activities of the caregiver in the midst of the crowd of people who are uneducated, uninformed or unintentionally uninvolved.
We must continue to educate and train or families, friends and organizations.

Thanks for expressing your heart. I do understand and often think about those who are unsung heros in the heart of a few. No, they never have the channels stop for the broadcast of their homegoing but they have those whose life they have touched stop to show their love and carry on their legacies.
I recently lost my mom and was amazed at how many cherish her jokes, kindness and love. She took sooo many children to Sunday school. Yet, she was not a celebrity by the worlds standard.
Your friend made a difference,unrecorded, yet words are written on the hearts of those who loved him or affected by his purpose. Continue, we must, to never forget and always remind others of their missions and love.
Forever in our hearts they will lay in our hearts.

Yikes, like middle school is not confusing enough! I am really surprised that the phys. ed. teacher did not fully analyze the song before using it with the class considering that there was a voice of concern raised over a previous choice. I am glad to know that their are parents like you who raise those concerns. Any chance you can reveal what song it was? Just curious..

My boys are babies still, but I get concerned of the impending years of inappropriate material. I’m not a prude by any means and I too speak openly about sexuality with my boys (penis vs vagina is a big conversation right now with the 2 year old) I get concerned for the day when I have to stand up for my parenting in the school setting. Which in your words shouldn’t be but teachers are my age and some don’t have children yet and common sense is so far from their radar. Thank you for your words, they give me hope for when it’s my turn to stand up for their ideals and morals too!

He didn’t have two coins to rub together. But after seeing 120 people on Sunday come together on 2 days notice to witness their love of my brother; I knew he was a very rich man.

Deanna, I’m not sure what to say now, but I want to let you know that I am thinking of you and your “group” today. Thanks for sharing this story.

I attended a funeral today for my dear uncle. As I threw out my contact lenses that were dried out from all my tears I am comforted by all the love that surrounded me these past two days. I wouldn’t want to have had to share such a profound private moment with the world on tv. Although he sure had the celebrity treatment as the line of family and friends wrapped around the block for more than three hours for people who came to say their final goodbye. It was a sad yet joyous and beautiful celebration.

Deanna – what a beautiful tribute to Grif. I was thinking about you all this weekend. I can’t even imagine what Beth is going through right now – she’s lucky to have you as a friend. xoxo
