To everyone at holy family Hospital:
All I can say is my sincerest thanks to everyone at Holy Family Hospital. When I was wheeled in there seven months ago I was about three quarters dead. In fact I had come here to die. I was so tired of fighting just to stay alive. But because of your generous care, and kindness, I was not just healed, but I was given another reason to live.
As you age you are supposed to gain a certain amount of wisdom and to pass it on to the next generation. Here’s the best I can do:
To care for others is the most noble professions there is. But there is a danger here, because to really care for someone else is to share their pain and fear and give them some hope… The belief that things will get better. But you may care too much and give too much of yourself away. That’s true for both your professional lives and your private lives. You must be wise and take care of that little part deep inside of you where love lives and hope grows. Never give yourself away to the wrong person or to an addiction, they can bleed you dry and stop you from taking care of the people you care for.
God bless and thank you, each and every one of you,
Big Dan
