Dealing with friends or relatives who are very sick, old or alone can be a challenge. When someone is ill and cut off from their daily life, a visit or call or note from someone reminds them they are remembered, part of a community and are cared for. Remember it is important this holiday season that we should be reminded of this. It was so important to me to hear from someone during difficult times just to have them ask how I was doing.
