Rest In Peace

In the last few months, I've watched my mother bear her illness with grace and dignity. She recently passed away, after a struggle with much pain. It has been a terribly sad time but I thank the many friends and colleagues who kept my mother in their thoughts.
In particular, I remain amazed and grateful for the numerous health care workers who tirelessly tended to her needs and those of others in hospice. In conversations with those individuals, it was clear that their work was more than a way to earn a living. It is truly an honor to have met the nurses (male and female) who never complained and instead carried out their work with a smile.
To my dear mother, may you rest in peace and know that you are missed and loved. Like the rose shown here, your beauty endures. You will be remembered with a legacy of purpose and hope.
