I happened upon your blog as I was look...Christen,<br /><br />I happened upon your blog as I was looking through Jim Miller's contemplative photographer blog. (And I would never utter the words "happened upon," but they seem appropriate in writing!) I am a hospital chaplain dabbling in the idea of moving into hospice chaplaincy. Thank you for sharing Kosmas and Helen with your blog readers. Your words remind me of the importance of presence. I struggle with "loving" my "job" and I am thankful to find inspiration in the loving narratives others take the time and the love to share. <br /><br />Beth Seder<br />Cheyenne, WYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13316589.post-49427177177511221412010-01-25T22:23:00.894-05:002010-01-25T22:23:00.894-05:00What a blessing to have neighbors viewed as family...What a blessing to have neighbors viewed as family. I can only imagine what a better world this would be with more people like Kosmas, Helen and Christen. Please keep the faith and maybe we will see you again soon.

He and Helen were so gracious and hospitable to us when we were visiting, plying us with their delictable Greek delicacies. <br /><br />The world is too short of men such as Kosmas and women such as Helen. Their old world ways, their goodness, their care for fellow human beings, their transparency and child likeness. Whis will be so missed with the demise of Cosmos. And although I have seen hime only a few times through the years, I mourn his absence from our world amd feel a profound sense of loss. My condolences to all of you, but especially to dear Helen. I hurt with you all. My love to you, Lois <br /><br />And to Contemplative Chaplain, how beautifully and poignantly have you given the account of of Kosmas' death and life! Your muse has returned.<br />Thank you and thank God for you,<br />LoisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
