LETTER: Thanks to one and all
Thanks to one and all
This letter started out to be a thank-you for the nurses, doctors, technicians and other staff members who cared for me during my recent stay at Washington Hospital. But then I realized I also owe a debt of gratitude to those who care for me on a daily or weekly basis: the best neighbors anyone could have; the person who delivers my Observer-Reporter faithfully early every morning; the person who delivers my mail no matter the weather; the person whose crew has been mowing my lawn for the eight years I have lived in this house; the guys who take care of the trash, and always, my amazing family, colleagues and friends. And I also should include my former parishioners at Bentleyville United Methodist Church.
As Bette Davis said, “Old age ain’t no place for sissies.” And as I say, I knew I was going to get old but I didn’t know it was going to happen this fast. However, because of your help and support, I make it from one day to the next.
Blessings to each of you!
Rev. Barbara Bailey
Washington
