Joann and I had the pleasure of attending a Nurse Honor Guard workshop Friday and Saturday. It was a great chance to hear about other chapters around the state . We learned about what works, what doesn't and what types of events we can add to our offerings for nurses.
It was wonderful to meet some of our NHG colleagues.
And we also had 2 reminders of why we do this.
First, one of the nurses in attendance at the workshop approached us and said she who was close to Bea Donoghue, RN and her family. We paid tribute to Bea in Watertown NY last year.
She remarked how wonderful our tribute was! And we remembered how Bea's son actually sang an Irish Blessing to us after the tribute. He had us almost in tears!
Then the photographer at the workshop looked familiar, but I could not quite place him.
He went to Joann and played a video of her reading at a tribute we did in Hammond for Mariel ( aka Sarge). As soon as he showed her that, we immediately remembered he was in attendance at the tribute and videoed it. He is still so thankful for our tribute to his aunt. We laughed and talked about the stories about Mariel and how she got her nickname of Sarge.

These two people reminded me that everything we do, no matter how big or small, comes back to us . Our efforts to pay tribute to nurses may be a small gesture, but it truly means so much to the family and loved ones. And leaves us as NHG with unforgettable memories.

Overall the workshop was amazing and we look forward to another one next year!

And we have a lot of work to get done before then!
