Bonnie,

This is the second time I've had the privilege of reading this story, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time.

Oh Bonnie...how sad! Wish you'd written why Norman was left this day. Assume no one found out! I have such a lump in my throat! Have to send it along to people to enjoy and just maybe inspire. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. Bless you.

The things we wish would bless us and others often do not come to us. Norman was a forgotten soul, but for us, his nursing team, it left an impact on each and every one of us, making us forever more aware of just how poorly some people are treated, and how our veterans are forgotten.
