make it real


A quick sketch. We're meeting this morning with the nurse from Hospice to readmit Mom. I've learned a lot with this whole on/off process with hospice. With the philosophy of care for Mom to provide comfort, not to drag her to the emergency room once again if she gets an infection of something worse, hospice is the appropriate service. It's a bit unclear why she was taken off but I'm thankful for this wonderful service provided by caring people.

Here's a real treat, so if time allows check out this amazing blog by Richard Johnson. He's a Canadian artist that traveled to Afghanistan for the National Post newspaper. Sometimes it seems like we've forgotten about all the people serving in this war zone and his blog and gorgeous drawings make it real for me. The drawings bring me closer to the people of Afghanistan and the soldiers than photos would.
