Joan Manuel's Story

hank you for sharing with me your experience of Abe and Abe's song. And for sharing your gift with the world. I love music—singing—and though I am not talented in that area, I don't let it stop me. At mom's Celebration of Life this past January, I led a sing-a-long in honor of this lovely lady who loved to sing with the "gang."

My parents died within six months of each other in Dec. and Jan. I was with Dad at the time of his death and soon after with Mom. It was an intense year with them both. For me a year of pain, hope, love, frustration, gratitude and every other emotion imaginable. I was blessed with the most precious gift of all. Dad and I developed a close, sacred relationship, one I never thought possible. It would not have happened had I not been with him continuously over the last six months of his life. It changed my life for which I am most grateful.

Your email sharing filled my eyes with tears and sobs erupted from my body. More grieving. What a blessing.

Dad was with hospice and I am taking the training as well as working with the Mother Oaks children's program. Another blessing in my life.

Your sharing filled my heart with love this morning. What a fantastic way to start this Sunday.

Love and blessings, Joanie
