Anniversary of Hospice

Margie has been in hospice care for 3 years, and is now beginning her 4th year. The average stay in hospice care in America is 2 months. Many of our friends have talked about how healthy Margie was due to exercise and eating the healthiest foods. There is a container in the kitchen that she used for a covered dish long ago, and her handwriting on the top is, heart healthy. Her hospice nurse and I have talked about her German tenacity being partly responsible for her very slow decline. I can see the decline very slightly some months, more so others. She still recognizes me, and I understand her eyes and touch are expressing her love.
