I love working in nursing homes.Being there and getting a smile from them is priceless! I feel if I can make them smile than I made that moment a happy one for them.I have a habit of wanting to see people smile. I guess maybe it makes their life better for a moment.

I remember some things about his illness. But I think my mind blocked alot of it. Possibly to block out the pain of seeing my role model in pain and not being able to help.I do remember the pain he suffer while in the last stages and was destroyed about not being able to help him.It's been 40 years and it still hurts and I know it always will.But I have learned to adjust to it and carry on.I feel for everyone going through this it is a hard battle.I also lost a dear Grandmother to cancer and I think remembering my dad help me to deal better with her death. I know I spoiled her.I would find a way to get her what ever she wanted to eat even if it took grinding by hand. She also had a stroke.I feel regrets with my dad,like I should have done more.But with Granny I did do more and hold no regrets.But I also realize I was only 9 and wasn't much I could do.I do remember laying beside him at home and holding his hand and kissing him. So I guess at my age that was alot. I hold those times close to my heart.Once again thanks david for offer a helping hand to others!! Also he had bladder cancer.
