Our friend Mary Crawford

Three years ago I had a hospice volunteer as I was in treatment, very fatigued with a husband and son working and home alone all day. Being the age I am most of my friends were working or already committeed to other things or too scared to come see me. After getting the volunteer they really thought I was dying. I asked my volunteer about that and she said that can be true but patients can get better. I had her for 2 years and its been another 1 year without her. I am doing great. Hospice is wonderful in many ways but it does give people the mind set that we are dying. I don't know if this was a joke or not but my girl friend asked me one day if I knew there was a basket of flowers on my grave by my name. She wouldn't tell me for several months and I had no reason to go see my stone once it was set. I went to look and sure enough a beautiful basket of flowers. I laughted and told my friend, "maybe they think I am dead" she said very angerly " the date is not on the stone that you died" I hope you can get a chuckle from this as I did. I will continue praying for Mike and Mary. She is in good hands with Hospice and has a guardian angel watching over her. Hugs, Sandy
