Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 That is so very nice of you .We always did this as well. We also do it for our neighbors. Just a small plate now , But the kids did larger portions then. My daughters & sons do the same their kids .It isn't what or how much , its as you said, showing " thanks you in a small way. " With the kids doing it, it means much to those & it will show those that need it .........compassion & appreciation. We also took to the Children's hospital wings(floor), here. None of my own children were sick, so they did it ...thanking the Lord that they were well & hopefully bring a smile to someone who wasn't well. We took wee stuffed animals........I do that still today...... They were small enough to be tray gifts. Bless you all & may your hearts be filled with love & compassion as this season & a new year are headed our way. IT will be a healthier one for all ..I hold that thought in all my special wishes. love & hugs, GrandmomBEV Re: [cfparents Hi I was just wondering where abouts you live. I also have an appointement at cf clinic on the 3rd december, thought that we may by some chance be in the same part of the world. mum to baby Liam school issues & stuff I've learned a lesson by reading all these posts. It seems that I've taken a lot for granted these past years dealing with Josh's school and with the staff at our CF clinic. I always assumed that as professionals, compassion was a given. Apparently not. It seems that some of these people have become jaded in their many years of service. This year we intend to give a special thank you to those we have taken for granted. Every year we bake cookies for the kids to give to my ex, the grandparents and their buss driver. It's our way of giving something that the kid's have make themselves. We also make homemade cinnamon ornaments. These go in the gift baskets as well. They mean more to people because of the effort put into them. On the third of December Josh goes to clinic. I intend to take both the doctor and the social worker special ornaments with 's name on the back. Every year when they trim their tree they will remember Josh, and how he apprecieated their efforts. I'm taking a huge basket of homemade cookies to leave at the nurses station. Another big thank you. The school office will get cookies, along with the sweet ladies in the lunch room that give him extra portions every day. God know's there are not enough cookies for the thank you's that I owe. But hey, one step at a time.... All of these people have made our lives easier in one small way or another. Who knows, mabe it will keep them from becoming among the jaded. Thank you all for the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
