Larry, thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us through your writings. They are a gift any time of the year!

This essay of yours really hit home and I am grateful to have had the "smarts" to sign up to receive Hospice Matters when I did.

Those four simple phrases that you mentioned in Byock's book reminded me of the Hawaiian prayer, Hoʻoponopono:

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

If I had one wish, it would be to have the strength to live this prayer - every day.

Thank you, again, for sharing yourself with all of us!
