This is Von, one of John's loving caregivers. Von works at Deer Creek on weekends.
That is where we came to know and love her. She is with us three days a week.
John had not been out of bed for three days, but this morning he wanted to get up.
He stayed up for about half an hour, and when Von helped him back into bed I saw
this moment between them and asked their permission to preserve it.
(She says John's head is her good luck charm.)
We feel very blessed to have Von and Andre, our other caregiver, to help us.

I was reluctant to use this for my photo today, but Von wanted me to share it.
So I am doing it as a tribute to all the wonderful caregivers who have
shared our journey with us.

This is so special, Petesie. John looks tired but so well connected and serene in a way. There must be something special about the two of you that you have been blessed with such wonderful caregivers. They make all the difference in the world.

When Von's time comes for this kind of care, I know God will send her an angel like he did for Daddy. I thank Him for her and Andre every day.
