What's in a hug


 What's in a hug ... when caring for refugees it is the overwhelming relief they are safe after all you have seen on the news and in uncensored material... today 4 people hugged safe .. when in Eleonas Camp Athens had a camp full off hugs and with my Syrian family... Wallah edim it is a blessing to befriend another and share their life rebuild ...be there to listen to share silence, tears and laughter... it feels a wider sense of winning against the evil intent of warmongers... 

Sunday was listening to a young boy ..trying to understand death and dying ... so much being heard and a need to make sense of it all ..

My nursing career I have nursed the dying and cared for the dead ...a feeling of an empty shell shed as the life force lifted out ..the soul the life energy that made that person live their lives gone ..no more laughter no more tears no more pain no more dreams no more achievement in life ..but a lasting memory a lasting legacy for loved ones... there are some that leave deep footprints on Earth with their very being ..their role and their life mission ..but all part of a family all part of the overall raison d'etre on this Earthly plane .. that little boy reinforces that it will be good for Alia and her Halo child bereavement charity to encompass refugee children in our midst ..so we can hug them help them understand... in that help us adults understand too.. 

Feeling blessed thank you sweet children for making me feel like the Queen receiving your flowers.
