When was the last time you were touched?

I was "touched" yesterday. I thought I was being "touched" everyday, but boy was I wrong! I went to the funeral of a dear friend, an elderly lady who was a previous patient of mine. I cried because I was sad, but mostly because I was "touched". As I sat there it became increasing obvious that this woman,(who had many friends), had loved each of us individually and uniquely but equally the same way. We all shared stories of Bee and what she meant to us. We all told the same story of the standard she held for herself and others. That standard was Honesty, Love of Others, and Love of Self! She was a true beauty. A women of PURE SPIRITUAL LOVE. So when I say, "I have been touched", I will no longer take for granted what that means. I will strive to hold that standard close to my heart always. Thank you Bee for showing me what a true human being can accomplish just by loving. I will miss you and hold you in my heart forever.
