The eloquent summary you provided of Ebert...Sybil,<br /><br />The eloquent summary you provided of Ebert's personal narrative demonstrates once again demonstrates to me the enormous power food has to connect us all. He didn't miss the food itself but rather what it represented - times together with his family and friends. In an instant, the smell of cookies baking in the oven or the sight of Grandma's famous mashed potatoes canLindsayhttp://nc8103jg22.blog.ryerson.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170197786193128010.post-30906473225365017592010-01-28T09:57:24.724-05:002010-01-28T09:57:24.724-05:00Thanks for your comments Jme and Sharon and Ings! ...Thanks for your comments Jme and Sharon and Ings! <br />Jme- glad you enjoy this blog!! :)<br />Sharon- I agree, presenting a new caregiver with a story would allow them to get much more of a "complete picture" than whatever I could manage to tell them. I guess it then depends on whether the caregiver would really read the story, for the sake of learning about their client. <br />Ings- Sybil Hebert, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254199611960976605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170197786193128010.post-38875148513067094912010-01-27T19:01:52.360-05:002010-01-27T19:01:52.360-05:00Really nice post.

Writing things down helps the writer reflect and the reader relate to someone else. For me, I see my Blog is like a memoir in the form of a scrapbook forever immortalized in the WWW.

I don't have a journal or a blog, but I have come across many very personal blogs- of people coping with illness and seeking support and energy from strangers, that become intimate friends.
