Before his death he used to have breakfast every morning at the local Waffle House. The nursing staff at the hospital treated us like family. One of the cooks from the Waffle House sang at his funeral. It is fascinating how the two compared in both your situation and ours. Must be something about Waffle House and Hospital ICUs. Maybe it's the comfort food and the comforting people. God bless and comfort you in your time of grief.Freedom's Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887481921630569362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-59837541537811582982010-04-29T21:16:30.988-04:002010-04-29T21:16:30.988-04:00Having spent 5 days/nights in an ICU last year, an...Having spent 5 days/nights in an ICU last year, and many a night as a late night security guard (ie IHops meals) your comparison is spot on. In my job I couldn't fix every problem of my customers, but I did demand of myself that they would go away feeling better than when they called. Maya is right. I hope you find peace of mind with your loss.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-66308822548057854562010-04-27T11:24:39.270-04:002010-04-27T11:24:39.270-04:00I really liked your post.

I certainly did (after a long while) when my gran passed away... <br /><br />Your post struck a chord... I can see the comparision and the parity. Well, at the end all that matters, irrespective of the reason behind the gestures, is how they make you feel... and if they made u feel better (like you had someone else care)then I would say the underlying reason does not matter!Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620223125382956930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-11589439819811541972010-04-13T08:38:55.124-04:002010-04-13T08:38:55.124-04:00I was just looking through "Next Blog" a...I was just looking through "Next Blog" and come to yours. I feel for you for the loss of your dad and all you went through. Its difficult going through that on a daily basis with no sleep, I experienced the same 5 years ago with my father. <br /><br />Love your post about Georgians driving in snow, I am in ga and you are so correct, they cant drive in snow. I am thankful my hubby is from Ohio so he does all the driving when it snows. <br /><br />And, on your profile, I think I can tell..... no.... yes..... are you a soccer fan? :).... We are a soccer house here a well. We live,eat, sleep, breathe, SOCCER!!!! even when we married our minister was a ref and most of the guest were too. I put my foot down on having a soccer theme wedding. He will retire from soccer this year from being a national assessor but will still teach ref classes. It will be odd having him home on the weekends, 35 years is a long time to devote ones life to a sport.<br /><br />Hope your day is good, May God bless you all.Tammy@Simple Southern Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027582211262125136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-30893093337290569682010-03-22T15:54:04.703-04:002010-03-22T15:54:04.703-04:00Ryan,

I know it really helped to have caring people who didn't know you around you like that. I'm not saying you can't find people like that in other parts of the country, but I wouldn't trade Southerners for anyone else in the world.Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794945973074374935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-69095985239018529302010-03-15T10:29:13.358-04:002010-03-15T10:29:13.358-04:00Even though there is the underlying pride in job a...Even though there is the underlying pride in job as well as monetary compensation at both places, there is also that one attribute, "caring." Both attract people who care about others in their own ways. An ICU staffer would not be there if he/she did not want to help others. A waitress at Waffle House likes people and likes to serve them or she probably would not be there as well. Interesting post and a great comparison.Georgia Mountain Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476804374376833046noreply@blogger.com
