We can do that every day, can't we ? To honor them and the part they had in making us who we are today. Thank you Sharon.

I am glad it touched you in some way, Janelle. I think we can all benefit from a small reminder that in our old ones' lives, a touch, a word, a call can make a difference in in their day. Thank you for coming to this tiny island in the Substack sea to read at 🍁 Leaves.
