The Power of Love
And, I'm a member of an Alzheimer's Disease caregivers forum, where I found this wonderful video today about the power of loving touch. CNN plays a slightly annoying ad before the video itself plays, but hang in there...it's worth it.

Jean,
I believe in touch therapy. I have been in the healthcare field for 24 years and taking the time to hold my patients' hands has always been important to me. It is as important as the medicine that we give. Not everyone feels comfortable with touching.
Thank you for sharing this video.
I am sure you saw your mother yesterday. How was she?? And have you enjoyed your Holiday? I haven't seen you mention the substitute job recently. Are you liking it?
