I bought my home on July 1, 1999. I have lived next door to my neighbor Jim for the last 10 years. I have never known a neighbor quite like him. Like me, he is one of a twin. He and his wife lived in Hawai'i for years and two of his children were born there. He is genuinely kind. He would even call me if he noticed my garage door was still open. He would watch over us.
Well for the last few days he has been in hospice care.
Today one of his daughters stopped by about 30 minutes after I returned from working in the Tarpon Springs office. Soon after my husband and I rushed to the local Hernando-Pasco Hospice to see him.
I'm so grateful that his daughter who happens to reside in Hawai'i on the island of O'ahu stopped by to let my husband and I know because we would talk with her father so it was extremely disheartening to hear the sad news. She flew from O'ahu to Florida on Wednesday.
From what I have seen he is receiving excellent care at the hospice. They have a thrift store in New Port Richey on Massachusetts as well as one in Zephyrhills so if you have a chance... please support this organization.
Oh and if you have a chance... please tell those whom you love that you love them because *you* never know if and when tragedy will strike.
A hui hou (until next time)

Hospice is great! It is nice to know that there are people out there that can provide the specified care for those who are in need!
