#TheAmenEffect Stepping Closer

Wow. This question about stepping closer took me right to a memory, and I'm not going to question it, so I'm going to talk about it. I met a gentleman briefly who had Als through another group of friends, and I met him over the years, and it was a very light touch. We didn't know each other very well

But to be there as someone's end and to be asked to be ushered into the room with them as part of a family unit, to hear their last breaths and wishes is incredible

Evelyn, I had to answer this while I'm in the car. I just got a ping that you replied. And I want to thank you for being so responsive. And maybe you're helping me see this in a different way because I told this story, and then I started thinking about it, and then hearing you, you're helping me appreciate, you know, the strength, but also just that honor that I touched on. But you. You really brought it home for me

Hi, Deborah. Becky here from visions expressing and I'm so glad that you didn't let the overwhelm of your own daily life keep you from this monumental moment and gift we give of ourselves. And when we do that, it changes things. It changes people. Singing music is healing, soothing, calming. And I believe that is wonderful that he wanted you there to sing that to him before his passing. And I'm glad you were able to do that
