My sister. My hero
6 years ago
This is my sister, Mary Kay. My 9 yr. old granddaughter, Audrey, was born on her 50th birthday April 17! She's a Respiratory Therapist who took a pay cut and left clinical work 3 years ago to become a Respiratory Case Manager in a hospital office. She's 5'3''and about 100# and moving big patients by herself for 30 yrs. was killing her back. Yesterday, she went back into clinical work to relieve exhausted RTs. She's my hero! Her husband's comment on this pic was, "Luke! I am your mother!" 😆

Comments (2)I was working at a Canning Workshop yesterday at an organization where I volunteer, and a lady said she was looking for a good, safe canning Salsa Recipe. The presenter didn't know of one but I did. I sent her right to Annie's Salsa and said it is the gold standard, and she will never want for another. I agree, thanks Annie!

Comments (3)ky la: Thank you for sharing your father's obituary. When I read it it brought back memories of growing up in Boise and visiting my older brother who went to school at ISU in Pocatello. Your father sounds like a terrific man who certainly left this world way too early. I know that I can tell you the obvious, that you should not blame yourself, that there is no reason to feel guilt. You will have many folks telling you this, but the olny thing that will really ease those terrible feelings is time. Know that with time things will become easier. Know that different folks greive in different ways. A person who outwardly appears to be in complete control may just be torn up inside... it's hard to tell. I'm sorry about your dad. If he were anything like a number of the fine folks I grew up with in Southern Idaho, then I know that the world is a lesser place with his passing. --in my thoughts, --John...See MoreMy birthday present for my sister...
