Giving

I stopped by to visit a couple of places today that I will be writing about soon. These are places that meet people where they are like the Salvation Army and the YMCA. I talked with both directors and introduced myself promising to schedule interviews in late spring. I am enamored with people that volunteer to help others. In my Pollyanna mind, I always thought I would be one of them like my Mama and Daddy only it didn't work out there. My body wore out before theirs did and I had to quit the healthcare scene at the age of 62. And the irony? That is one of the organizations that they gave their time too. And also Lifeline Blood Services. They would be so proud to see our center here in Dyersburg. Daddy was O negative and a 10-plus gallon donor. Back in the day, he actually donated for one of my friends' daughters who was a critical care newborn.
