Thankful

I work for hospice right now and we have a case that is just so sad.  It a 23 year old that has luekemia.  He had a transplant a couple months ago I guess but it didn't work.  His luekemia is back so now they will let it takes its course. On top of this person being only 23 years old he has a wife and a brand new baby. His baby is a week old.  Him and his wife got pregnant and then after found out about his cancer.  It is just so tragic. Most hospice cases I deal with are elderly people. It is still very sad when they pass but it is more of a happy/sad feeling if you know what I mean.  A lot of my patients are ready to go and are in so much pain.  With this case it is just so sad. It hits so close to home for me.  I am just 23 and have a little boy as well.  Ahh, I just can't imagine. I am just so thankful for my life and I hope that I never have to go through what this sweet family is going through right now. I am just so thankful for the gospel knowing that there is life after death and one day this sweet family will be together again.  Working for hospice has really made me realize that life really is so precious and to cherish everyday and to be grateful for all the things I have!
