A Final Thought...
If you know of anyone at all who is in hospital
just now, why not show them that the rest of the world is not so
wrapped up with consumer goods, aspirations and mission statements
that it doesn't care. One small note or tape or book can mean so very
much. Even better is a visit with lots of news and gossip... |
