We wanted to mark this date with something special in honor of Al, so we decided to make two cakes--one which was given to Julie, and the other to the staff at the Riverbend Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Natick where Al spent his last days. Julie spoke so highly of the care and comfort Al received at this home-like facility, so we thought it might be nice to surprise them with a tasty treat that shared our appreciation for their kindess and support of Al during his illness. When I delivered the cake, the staff was very touched and appreciative. I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Evan (not sure if he was a Nurse or Aid) but he remembered Al and said that there are still several care givers at the center who would also remember him as Al was such a "nice man". Another employee said "It's so nice to be remembered for doing something right!" It always feels good to reach out to those who are dedicated to taking care of others....especially since we have a daughter studying to become a nurse!!!
