Today Louie and I once again had the honor of a mini concert by the young Mennonite volunteers here at Memorial Hermann. It was fabulous!! We are so lucky to get this opportunity to have them right in our room so we can enjoy their very special talents. They attracted lots of attention as our door was open and people (residents, nurses, aides, patients, and families) stopped to hear them. Tomorrow is Shane's (one of the group) last day here. He will be going back to Michigan to his home. He has been consistently warm and kind since we have come to this floor and we will miss him when he leaves. These young men are VOLUNTEERS, giving so much and expecting nothing in return. If Shane's intention was to spread joy and hope among the patients and families here, he has accomplished it! If his goal was to share faith and a love of the Lord , he has accomplished it. If he hoped to make lasting friendships , he has accomplished that also. I pray he takes away from his time at Memorial Hermann, a fraction of what he has given. Our blessings go with him.
Love to all, Ruthie
