Most Precious Gift

I used to think working in healthcare Was just about the money, but The hardest thing about working in a nursing facility Is when a resident passes away The honor is in knowing you all To be able to assist with you with your needs The real joy is knowing I helped someone Who needed it Listening to their concerns and worries Maybe even joy Without passing judgment Each and everyone of you have touched a small place in my heart As sad as it is knowing you are no longer here It’s the hope knowing you’re in a better place No pain, suffering Rest in peace dear residents For I shall never forget any of you The most precious gift is knowing I could help When one of you needed it Thank you for the gift of being able to knowing each and everyone of you

A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Chapter 1 Reid was so tired of his job and the hassle of having to go to work day after day. He resented having to live paycheck to paycheck; but he resented even more, having to miss his wife, Tara, and their children, Jared, 10; MIcah, 7; and little Brianna, 4. It seemed as if he was missing more of their lives more and more everyday. His job at Cramer Industries was becoming more demanding and Victor Cramer was the boss from hell. He desperately wanted something more for him and his family, but he felt life had dealt him this lot in life, and he was afraid he would just have to settle for what came his way and learn to live this non-exixtent life. He felt he would never be able to fully support Tara and his three children. Although miserable, Reid accepted this part of his life. Then, one beautiful summer day in late June, Reid had just checked his mail, for the usual bills, when he suddenly noticed a strange letter in his mailbox. It was a letter from an attorney, Brando...

Joyous News

Sarah and her husband, Jackson, had been trying for two years to have a baby. Sarah had been nauseous for weeks and finally decided to go to a doctor to see what was wrong. So when the doctor finally came into the examining room after getting the tests that he performed on Sarah, he had a smile on his face as he told her she was pregnant. Sarah couldn't containment her excitement when the doctor told her. She couldn't wait to go home and wait for Jackson to get home to tell him the news. Sarah went home and made a celebratory dinner with Jackson's favorites: T-bone steak, baked potato with sour cream, garlic bread. As the time was near for Jackson to arrive home, Sarah lit the candles she had set out on the table to make it a candlelight dinner for two. As if on cue, Jackson arrived home to find a romantic dinner made for him. He kissed Sarah and asked her what he did to deserve this fine dinner. Sarah just smiled and told him all would be revealed later. Aft...

The Phantom Man

This story came to me in a dream I had last night and upon waking up, I began Chapter 1. Chapter 1 The day had began just like any day.   Gray, overcast clouds had hung in the sky.   I was sitting outside in my lawn chair, drinking a cup of coffee—my usual morning routine.   A haggard, old man who appeared from nowhere came up to me and asked for a spot to sleep. He looked like he hadn’t had any sleep in days, so, in my generosity, I offered him a room to sleep.   He seemed relieved as I showed him inside and up the stairs to a room on the corner of my two-story home. As soon as the old man’s head hit the pillow, he was asleep instantly. As I headed back down stairs to my chair on the front porch, that’s when things went crazy.   A young woman in her 20s happened by and seeing my generosity with the old man, assumed I would give her a place to sleep too. Not wanting to disappoint, I too led her inside and up the stairs to a room next to the room ...
