My son's mother-in-law (Crystal's momma) is now in hospice in Little Rock. Joyce has battled cancer and the cruel side-affects of treatment for a long time. Earth-life is fading.
Because Joyce was big into getting her nails done, Dusty called hospice this week to ask if anyone could do her nails. He felt this would give her a boost. The lady recalled that they had never had such a request; but she did give him the name of a nearby salon.
He called to see if they did hospice. The woman was very blunt in saying no the client would need to come to them. He pleaded Joyce's case to no avail.
Yesterday a kind lady from hospice walked in with a new mission; nails. She was delighted give as was Joyce encouraged to receive.
For those who wouldn't know what they could possibly do to ease another's suffering, a cup of water might be good. And for those so inclined, nails might be an ideal gift of love.
