I purchased a $2.99 bouquet at Trader Joe’s today. As the cashier was bagging everything, I told her the flowers were for her, as a thank you for everything they’re doing. She started crying, then asked if she can share them with her coworkers. #nolastrong #covid19

@Sarabeth607 Most hospice care is actually done from the home setting! Hospice is absolutely incredible, and simply focuses on comfort and symptom management from a multidisciplinary approach. The goal is always to honor the patient’s wishes above all else. 🥰

@baddestmamajama I was the rarity where I took the family dog from the parents, rather than dump my dog on them later in life. Hurricanes were a factor. He was the greatest gift I ever had. He died 3 weeks ago, and I miss him every moment. Dogs are the best of us.
