    Wonderful opportunity for those that are loving and caring. We all need people to help care for us at our end of life. I know when they told me I still had cancer all I thought of was having someone loving and caring for me in the end. Its so scary. Turns out I was able to kick cancer and will be signing up to give others the love and compassion that I would have wanted at the end. If your heart breaks for people who are dying then they need you and your tender loving and caring.
