Letters to Fisher

December 2O19: My husband and l have been coming to the Dayton Fisher House for three months, in the beginning for just a day or two at a time when he had appointments. However, when his condition became serious over six weeks ago, he entered the hospital and l became a full-time resident of room 1o8. Now, a few days after Thanksgiving, l am ready to leave, thankfully with a husband much healthier for his stay. Only with the care and wonderful facility that is Fisher House was l able to provide the help and support to be what my husband needed me to be. l don ’ t know if l ’ ve ever met more generous, caring, compassionate people before. When it looked like his days were numbered, l received shoulders not to cry on, but to cry with, as these wonderful folks cried right along with me. Such a beautiful facility that provides anything you could possibly need, with a staff that goes so far above and beyond the call is a blessing every veteran deserves but doesn’t always get. Thank you, a thousand times over, Fisher House. We truly thank you. (Follow-up, June 2O2O): Now, several months later, l am waiting to pick up my husband from the hospital. He has been in so many times that l have lost track, including once for the flu. l don’t know how many times l ’ ll have this home away from home to lean on and in as he is nearing the end of his journey after 52 ½ years of marriage. My family thought it would never last. My solace is the reunion we ’ ll have after this life is done. Thank you 1,OOO times over for the room, but even more for the love you all have poured into our lives. The laughter, sharing, tears, and hugs even with COVlD-19 mean more than l can possibly express. God Bless you all.
