Seeing all the glamor shots and phony faces of people that the world holds up for everyone to emulate, covet, or hero worship, I look at the real heroes in life. Usually they are the quiet ones who take the time to comfort, to be brave, to sit and listen to a plan "B" with dignity, or to stand by and be ready with strong arms to help. I've met many heroes in different settings...none will ever be on the front of "People" mag, but I'm glad to have known them. Your post really hit the nail on the head. I do hope someday you and Jilda will not have to go there anymore, but while you are there you're someone's hero. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-22784616965702151232013-04-04T07:06:21.010-05:002013-04-04T07:06:21.010-05:00Such a powerful post, and I do remember how I felt...Such a powerful post, and I do remember how I felt being in the chair ...

You are right-there is a pulse to the place...and that heart beat motivates every action that takes place there- some good-some bad-some healings-and, sadly, some deaths. I miss the people but I don't miss the daily heartaches. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-81173684125463022782013-04-04T03:58:13.066-05:002013-04-04T03:58:13.066-05:00Big hugs to you and Jilda!
