Today is my mom's mom's birthday. She has reached 96 today.  Wow, and she's doing what she has done all her life.  She is giving someone a bite to eat, a shelter, a smile, and more importantly, she is giving some person HOPE.   She is doing this while permanently curled up in a fetal position in the bed of a nursing home.  There is no other reason for her to be living but by doing so, some young nurses aide, an orderly, a secretary, whomever that is associated with that center is able to buy a meal for their child, put a roof over their head, and well...

I hope that just like her, I never give up, but realize that no matter what turns life might bring, I am important to someone.  I may not know that person, but my living is very important to them.   With God's blessing, I hope that my life is always a good example of integrity, service, and care.
