Thank you.

When I tended the dying as a CNA in a nursing home and was there at the moment of death as well as (lovingly) washing their bodies, it seemed like a light, spirited-filled room. It was tangible in a way that I can't explain, really.

Thank you for the work you do; it can be such a sacrifice but it's so important.
