When I was young my father used to brush my hair very roughly, which may explain why I don't get any particular pleasure out of having my hair brushed.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-58646109010927267972019-09-05T14:29:36.530+00:002019-09-05T14:29:36.530+00:00Even regarding Chris.

It's a good thing I don't like people touching my head. I guess don't like people touching me at all. A decent handshake is alright! I have told my children to toss me and my wheelchair off a cliff if I get completely gaga. Right now they still refuse to do so, but we'll see when the time comes.

I do not ...Ever the healer and full of compassion. I do not think confidentiality was breached in any way shape or form. Where do you think that scripts for plays etc. come from. From real experience in real life. No names have been mentioned no details shared apart from a beautiful moment between a nurse and his patient. Sharing the joy and the moment in a day is a very special thing and obviously soothed the old lady and helped her sleep and thus giving her pleasure and something in the day that was of value apart from waiting for this and for that. Part of the work in the Hospice is helping those patients to live a day at a time under difficult circumstances. The intent is pure. No lines have been crossed. Just regret at a promise that was made to the writer personally and which he feels sad about. Even the carers need someone to take care of them too. Beautiful John and there will be someone there for you x<br />Pattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.com
