IT MUST BE LOVE

November 2007 is National Hospice Month. The specially designed quilt, shown above, reflects the philosophy of hospice care -- "It Must Be Love". Hospice reaches out to those with life limiting conditions, they may be young, or old, or any age in between.

Thousands of family caregivers are with their loved ones all day, every day. These can be long and difficult days, and nights. But with the help and guidance of hospice, the caregiver can be sustained.

I am a caregiver. I speak from personal experience as nearly 5-years ago my sweet and loving mother came to live with us. She is now 94-years-gold, and in recent months, we have received assistance from hospice in our home. Every one has been professional, kind, warm and generous. They have added to our lives immeasureably, not just with their frequent help, but with their sincere and attentive care.

Thank a caregiver today.

Many of us support most those causes that touch our own lives.

Perfectly Parker has reminded us that this is also American Diabetes Month.

Kellie asked us to remember Breast Cancer Awareness month,

and KC, Missy and Beau told

us about Americans With Disabilities month.

Starbuck & Torrey asked us to support the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

It Must Be Love.
