A full-circle moment, and a story that sits at the heart of why this work matters. Olivia, a hospice nurse with Paradigm Hospice, has cared for many of our residents over the years with compassion, dignity, and deep kindness. Today she came in for a slightly different reason, an interview filmed for our Night Light fundraiser. In this she shared a deeply personal discovery, that recently while taking a quiet moment at our resident memorial, she came across her uncle’s name, almost by accident. She didn’t realize that he had been cared for here at Morning Light, being still a child when he passed away. His name is now inscribed among those we honor, a lasting reminder of a life held with love. She said, “It felt like all this time I had meant to be here.”
She returned to the Home today with her wife Mary, a regular volunteer, and Joey — their beloved dog and animal therapy friend to so many of our residents over the past year. All to help us capture and share this story on film.
The video will go out next Thursday as part of the Night Light Event, join us for a moving evening of live music, surrounded by 1,000 candles — one for each life cared for at Morning Light. A powerful tribute to so many special people, and a way to help ensure we can continue to be there for those who will need us.
