Not long ago I was visiting a glady for a brief time and was struck by the strength of the family support system. A 60 year marriage. Children who moved home to help her through the final transition... real good solid people and it was an honour and a privilege to be of assistance.
Today I returned to the home.
Today it is the gentleman's turn.
Family is everything. Perhaps not relatives, but family for sure is everything.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu
