A Word of Thanks

Mar 19, 2020Pam's Page

Just a quick note to say thank you to all our Russell Home staff who never waiver and continually take care of all our “special ones” during this trying time. May God bless and take care of each and everyone of you! I would like to share something that I read on Facebook that I think is to the heart and core of this uncertain time. It was written by – Laura Kelly Fanucci.

May we never again
take for granted
A handshake with a stranger
Full shelves at the store
Conversations with neighbors
A crowded theatre
Friday night out
The taste of communion
A routine checkup
The school rush each morning
Coffee with a friend
The stadium roaring
Each deep breath
A boring Tuesday
Life itself

When this ends,
may we find
that we have become
more like the people
we wanted to be
we were called to be
we hoped to be
and may we stay
that way—better
for each other
because of the worst.
