Life Care workers sometimes unappreciated

The editor:

I felt a need to write this public thank you to the following people, because so many times, many good works go unnoticed, and unappreciated. First and foremost I want to thank Life Care Center of Morehead for the wonderful job they do, of caring for our loved ones, whom reside there, and for making this Christmas holiday for my mother easier than I expected:

Kevin Trent, for leading and directing; Bill Hurst, from admissions to helping with residents; nurses, who took the time to decorate the doors and their stations; nurses aides, whom truly are the backbone of support at Life Care. Last but certainly not least the therapy staff, the janitorial and cooking staff, which ALL do a wonderful job.

The nice visit from Santa was just an added treat for everyone. Thanks Santa.

I want to thank Wal-Mart for the gifts provided, just a generous show of support and caring to all the residents.

McBrayer Elementary fifth grades which visited with gifts and sharing, this was one of the highlights for my mother, she loves children.

There were many church groups that brought gifts and went through the halls singing Christmas carols. I was amazed to see so much community support for ones less fortunate.

Even private citizens that signed, and brought gifts, not wanting any recognition, your kindness was felt and appreciated. In closing I want to leave you with this poem, that is so fitting for me.

She's Still My Mother, by Jerry Ham

She's still my mother, who's standing there.

It's still her eyes, her face, her hair.

It's still her body, but it's just a shell,

Of the Mother I once knew so well.

She's still my mother, who looks at me,

Then asks the question, “Who might you be?”

Her memory fleeting, her gait is weak.

Loved ones long gone are those she seeks.

She's still my mother, whose angry words,

Life a sharpened sword, my soul did hurt.

She's still my mother who shares this home.

That we dress, whose hair we comb.

She's still my mother … I know tis true.

And so dear God I turn to You.

Please give me patience, wisdom, and love.

Til the day that You take her to heaven above.

Let me return … if even through tears,

The love she gave me through the years.

Though she often thinks I'm her brother

I'll love her yet, … she's still my mother.
