One Minute Writer Exercise
What is the hardest work you've ever done?
In my case, holding the hand of my beautiful eight year old daughter as she took her last breathe is the hardest and most painful “work” I have ever done. Several years later I stayed in the hospital with my dad supporting him and my mother during her final days. The nurses asked me, How is it that you can do this and be so calm? I told them, “I’ve been on this road before and I’m glad I’m here for my mom but nothing can compare to walking this same road with your child. Nothing.
