Welcome from another Upstater. Not sure just where your town is, but I am north of Syracuse, about halfway between there and Watertown, in the Tug Hill area.
Great to have you with us. I was a nurse but had to leave my job due to injuries received. Now on disability but quilting is great therapy!! So true we each have our niche. I worked with the pediatric MRDD population for many years, and loved that. I still miss it, but we must play the hand life deals us as best we can. Bless you for all you do to help ease the last days of others. Hospice is a wonderful thing and those of us who have experienced it's presence in our lives will never forget the kindness and help.
