The Wonderful People Who Touch Our Lives!

There is this incredible woman who lives in the Greenwood House with my mom.  Her name is Bessie, she is 93 years old, has no children and has never been married.  Her siblings are no longer alive and her only relative is her nephew who lives far away.

Bessie has touched me in a very special way.  She has exuberance for life.  She often feels alone, sad, angry, and frustrated but when she sees me or Leah she lights up.  She loves to hug us, kiss us and tell us how wonderful we are.  Bessie is full of love and passion for others.  She tells me that she wants to come back to life as me!  What an amazing thing to hear from someone else.  When I am around Bessie, I feel such a sense of love and compassion for her wisdom, her strength, and bravery.  She told me that she wants stay alive now so she can be around me.  Words cannot express how I feel for her.  She has come into my life and Leah's life with so much love for us it is truly a blessing.  We are not related, we did not know each other until a few months ago, but yet I feel that I have known her forever.

I thank G-d every day for bringing Bessie into our lives.
