An Act of Selflessness

One day while visiting a six bed residential care facility, I had a conversation with the Owner/caregiver. A woman in her 50's. The residents were being cared for so wonderfully, their rooms were personalized nicely, not to mention there were group pictures of the residents on the walls to remind them that they were at home. While talking to the caregiver, she began telling me that she had been diagnosed with stage four cancer but refuse to stop caring for the residents because of her diagnosis. In fact she went further to say that when I arrived they were coming back from Las Vegas because one of the residents turned 92 years old and wanted to spend her birthday there. I couldn't believe that "IN SPITE OF" her illness, she found it more important to selflessly care for others. Definitely an ACT OF SELFLESSNESS.
