If you haven’t read Tuesdays with Morrie it’s a good read and full of the wisdom and insight we want to pass on to those we love. I was working as a hospice volunteer when I first picked it up, and living the book with several of my cases. Carl would wait for me on the bench outside his nursing home with his walker. Some days I’d help him walk a few yards to just stand under the trees, one day we took a ride in my Miata convertible. His smile grew as we drove past houses, schools, and parks. We stopped at his old church, too tired to get out, and after long minutes of silence he said with tears in his eyes, “Good to be going home”.
