You did check yourself in, especially on the east coast. Hospice has evolved over the years and many practices have changed. Don't let that diminish this Blue Moment.

Touching to anyone with a heart. I'm writing from Scotland and hope that you will be able to come north of the border on your trip to UK?

Mother Teresa once said, “The biggest problem in the world today is that we draw the circle of our family too small. We need to draw it larger every day.” Your story exemplified this perfectly. To address the comment above, cabs are regularly called by hospitals on behalf of people who can't drive themselves. Also, people who are ready for Hospice are not always in pain, or unable to travel. My mother was in no pain whatever when she was admitted to hospice. But these points take us far afield from the message within your story... which I thank you for. I love the idea of “blue moments”.

ZenMoments has been replaced with a domain placeholder... so I'm guessing they went over their bandwidth usage and their provider shut them down. :/ I, too, am looking for a link to the story.
