More used to giving
awards than receiving (although I am an official Duke of Paducah, but
that’s a story for a different day), I was somewhat surprised when my
local Mental Health Association announced my name as one of their
annual EPIC award recipients. Since the organization means a heck of a
lot to me and so many other family caregivers, I am grateful,
surprised and honored.
This will be the 18th
consecutive year that the
Mental Health Association (MHA) of Southeast Florida will honor

Her Hands
by Janet Freeman-Daily
So many years ago
They cradled a squalling

Smoothed its tuft of hair
Lent a fingertip to suck
Waved bye-bye at the school bus
Drove to ball games and music

Demonstrated scout activities

Taught cooking and cleaning
Carried boxes into a first apartment
Tended flower gardens
Made homemade applesauce
Played with grandchildren
Dialed to
chat...read more
