Graduation Speech: Kinder Bridge Mother

477 Words2 Pages

Good morning Kinder Bridge Parents,
I am asking you and your families to join your Joy family in prayer for our Ms. Debbie. Last Saturday Ms. Debbie traveled to North Carolina to visit her brother and sister-in-law for fall break. Shortly after arriving and on their way to dinner, she was involved in an automobile accident. Ms. Debbie has suffered several broken bones. Since Sunday she has undergone several surgeries to repair her broken bones and is now resting comfortably. Her Joy family has been praying for God’s healing and protection on Ms. Debbie since receiving this sad news and have been in constant contact and prayer with her family.
After hearing of this news I prayed for God to guide me in placing a special person to be a substitute …show more content…

Debbie’s substitute. She has been a teacher for many years and was a Kindergarten teacher at Joy before she retired last spring. Ms. Houtcooper will be in the classroom on Monday morning and Ms. Jill will be there to assist her. We want to reassure you the transition will go smoothly, as Ms. Houtcooper helped developed with the curriculum for the Kinder Bridge program, along with Ms. Debbie and myself several years ago. Ms. Houtcooper will be in contact with you soon to introduce herself.
Please use your judgement in explaining to your child why Ms. Debbie will be gone for a while and that there will be a substitute for her until she can return. Our Joy staff will protect your decision by just sharing that Ms. Debbie will be gone for a while because she is resting from being sick.
In the meantime, I will be collecting cards to send to Ms. Debbie. If you would like to send her a card, just turn them into the front office. We will also send cards and videos to Ms. Debbie from the students periodically to cheer her up during her recovery. We are blessed to have staff and family would want to help Ms. Debbie and her family at this time. We do ask out of respect for the family that you do not contact them directly. We will send you more details as information becomes available and give you information on ways you can

    I felt fortunate to have attended the session with Bonnie, an epitome for an ideal hospice care provider. She demonstrates an ability to connect anyone in personal level and with full attention; thereby, making both the recipients and their family feel cared. As she shared her experience, it was reflected that she made sure the care is provided to the patients spiritually; and other needs are also taken care of. Bonnie joined hospice care after realizing the previous career of a social worker was not fulfilling. It was inspiring that she reflected it is never too late to change a career trajectory.

I have experienced firsthand the horrors and miracles of this profession. In 2011, I was able to see through a patient’s eyes when my Uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Standing by through dozens of rounds of chemotherapy, watching the deterioration of muscle and memory, it was excruciating, watching a man I had known my entire life being molded into someone new by this cancer. Those years of watching my uncle fight through chemotherapy inspired my dreams to become a person who can help those that are in pain, to heal their wounds and to be able to tell a family that their loved one will make it through the

Our lasting memories of mommy are simple: she was phenomenal, a hardworking, passionate figure of strength who never waned in her support or love for God and her family, and who soldiered on, even when times were tough. She remained faithful even unto death and has left an indelible mark on our lives which will remain permanently etched. We will always remember these encouraging words that would be repeatedly echoed by mom: • Put God first in everything we do. • No matter how hard life is, there is always a better day coming.
