Very moving Jim. Having worked in a hospital, I understand (or, at least have witnessed) the lack of sleep and loneliness patients feel. The horror, really, at times. Experiencing death of a loved one, or the threat of death of your own life certainly changes the perspective. And the worry you must have for your loved ones is perhaps the worst of all. We are all rooting and praying for your recovery Jim. For you, for your loved ones, and the fact that you are still young and have a lot more to do on this planet.

I found I could buy batches of fake sunflowers on alligator clips snd give them to caregivers and patients when I was in the hospital. Somehow all the people wearing sunflowers brought us together. I highly recommend it.
