Their letter and donation, like so many we receive, celebrate the special kind of care and extra touch that Four Seasons delivers. It is this level of care that makes Four Seasons different.

Lois’ Linens was established in 2017 in memory of Lois Vera Cruz. When Lois entered Four Seasons hospice care, Four Seasons arranged for a hospital bed to be delivered to her home. Without twin-sized sheets to cover the bed, the family had to purchase them immediately.  Knowing that many households do not have twin-sized beds, and that every patient or family may not have the financial means or ability to get new sheets right away, the Vera Cruz family created Lois’ Linens, a program to provide new twin sheet sets to Four Seasons patients as needed.

Walking out from a skilled nursing facility yesterday, I was surprised by the sound of laughter. That I had been surprised made me acutely aware that I, like many of you, am guarded. I am guarded by my mask from sickness and guarded from lightness by worry. It is easy to feel inundated by fear,
concern about trying to protect our patients, our families and ourselves and uncertainty about how long this will go on. It is hard work to project a peaceful and reassuring presence to those we care for.

When COVID-19 rolled in to Western North Carolina, questions about how best to care for our community took on a different tone. Hospice families welcome us not only into their homes, but also into emotionally and medically difficult times in their lives. I will never again take for granted the true intimacy that comes with sharing space
with patients and families in person.

It started to snow. While this might sound inconsequential, it happened to be August and I happened to be standing in the middle of an ocean. While I am a Chaplain, I do not claim to be able to walk on water, unless of course it is frozen. I was, actually, standing on ice at the North Pole.
