Its evident that yo!r love and care for her as a person is gen!ine and a!thentic. )he may not know each of yo! by name, b!t there is a familiarity that makes her light !p and smiles when yo! wave, speak, or /!st to!ch her on the sho!lder. That HconnectionI, that interaction, means more to !s than yo! will ever know. It helps !s en/oy peace of mind that she is in great hands and she is where she needs to be. ?e dont care abo!t e>ternal HtrappingsI, we only care that Mom is treated with respect, dignity, grace and compassion. ?e see evidence of all of those things every time we walk thr! the door.
