It has become obvious to me that the people in your "care", are nothing more than billing codes and case numbers. I am writing this to let you know that they are more than that to their families and loved ones. They are Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mothers, Fathers, Aunts, Uncles, Husbands, Wives and friends.
Yesterday I went by my Mothers house, that is being foreclosed on by the bank. The house is empty, due to a fire last January 21. As the administrator of Mom's estate, I am coordinating the repairs, and went by to see what progress was done. The house is completely empty, the contents thrown in a dumpster out front, due to smoke damage. In one bedroom it was strange to see that someone had placed a one piece Nativity on the empty book shelf.
The rest of  the house was cold and empty. My wife and son and I walked from room to room surveying the progress and the existing damage. I cant tell you what was going through their minds, but I was overcome by sadness.
 Then I went into what was the dining room, where we had gathered with the entire family for Christmas, Easter, and other special days over the years. There on the wall, were all the names of the kids in the family, with a line and a date to see how they had grown over the years. It was all I could do to keep it together as I saw my sons name and date by a line that was maybe three feet high, and I looked at him now at close to five feet. I took several pictures of that wall. To all those names Mom was much more than a billing code. She was the center of all of those lives.
All the grandchildren, and great grandchildren , Kenzie was the highest name on the wall, and Clancy was the lowest. Daniel, Aiden, Bradley, Erin, Adam, Kaylee, Lily, each had multiple lines on the wall. Those are the ones that were local, then there is Lee, Ben and Nick in Georgia, and Julia, and Brianna both grown up by the time the wall began.
I'm sure that your nursing homes and staff are responsible for ending more family walls than I can imagine. I hope that all of the people listed in the first line, dream of walls full of names and dates with the little lines, telling the family histories of the people that died in their care. If that were the case, Dr. Larry Joe Russell would never sleep!!
