Giving Care

It's in giving that we receive and in serving that we are served. In caregiving, we share what is common between ourselves and others. The most important gift we give when caring for someone is to simply be with them.  It is to think of the other person and their needs above and beyond our own. Although what we do and say matters, it is the fact that we are present that is most important.  It is the fact that we took time to be there, that we shared our humanity, that is valued and remembered most.   ~ Kathie
