Here's another kindness we may want to consider as we are out and visiting our sick family or friends during Christmas. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas! ~ Love and Hugs, Kat
My mom was recently hospitalized at a local inner city hospital that requires visitors to pay for parking. I cannot fault the organization for accepting revenue for parking when it is difficult to find adequate spaces to park at many hospitals.
As I was leaving I was reflecting on how very fortunate I am that she is improving daily and that I have a job and can afford to pay for parking.
Having a family member or someone you care about to be in a hospital is difficult enough, many folks are grieving or afraid so to extend a small favor like a parking fee, maybe would help just a bit.
So as I left, I gave the parking lot attendant double the parking fee each time I visited and asked her to use the extra money to pay for the next person in line's parking. I have no idea if the person behind me felt any better about the "free parking" but I did!
Howdy :)

I can assure you that someone somewhere does appreciate your generous spirit.
Praying for your Mom to be a 100 percent better soon !
It has been touch and go many times the past few years for me to not only stay with my parents but to pay for parking .Like you I do not fault the hospital for charging ,it is just that sometimes not everyone has the extra money needed.
Big hugs to you and yours.
I will more than likely continue to spend a great deal of time away from the computer in 2012 ,but do look forward to visiting your blog as often as I can !
God bless you and all yours .
Hugs from Texas
Until next time
Happy Trails in 2012
