ICU [View all]

You're all familiar with the acronym. Intensive care unit.

ICU can also mean I see you.

I see you. I see folks here who bring intensive care to this forum. I see folks who try to apply healing balm to the wounds this life brings. I see folks always at the ready with kind words intended to ease suffering. I see folks comforting the bereaved. I see folks who try to lighten heavy situations. I see folks who offer a hand up. I see folks, many who are carrying their own heavy load, who share others' burdens.

Joys shared are doubled. Sorrows shared are divided.

I see beautiful Shining Spirits who walk the walk, who bring light and hope to this road we travel together. Who provide intensive care in this looney bin of life.

I see you.

I thank you.

Truly.
