My hands have massaged my twin nephews since birth. This loving touch not only reduced their muscle strains, lumps, and torticollis, but allowed them better sleep and created a physical bond between us.

My hands are a gift that have cared for patients from the beginning of life to the end of life. I have assisted with delivering babies to caring for patients at the end of life. My hands are a gift that have provided care and comfort to my best friends....my kennel of Siberian Huskies.

I must go visit my 96 year-old grandmother everytime I go home. She is in a nursing home suffering from dementia. She may not know my name and that I am 1 of 30 grandkids but she knows me. During my visit I use my hands and with my favorite lotion Eucerin I give her hands, arms, legs and thighs a good massage. I always say "night, night" before I start because this always puts her to sleep.

My hands lovingly held my mother's very warm hands. She was dying from Alzheimer's disease She did not know me, but I knew she knew me on another level. I told I loved her and that is was okay to leave this world. Of course, I told her MANY other things, but I never let go of her hands until I left her in the Alzheimer's unit.

She died peacefully the very next day - 8/23/2012.

My hands have changed diapers, given pats and hugs, wiped away tears and tied beautiful braids in my daughters hair. They have closed my Mother's dying eyes. They have held anothers hand as they sit in sadness and in joy. My hands have made crafts and picked up sea glass and shells. They have built sandcastles and tree forts, they have picked driftwood from the treasures on the beach. They tell my story with the wrinkles and scars of a lifetime of living.

The intricacy of the human hand is a miracle. My hands are broad with short fingers, a gift from my Dad. My hands have allowed me to assist babies into this world & held the hands of the dying, including those of my father. They have done needlework that has gone as far as Canada, Norway, & South Africa, & sutured surgical incisions. They have expressed love in many ways, what I see as the most important work of human hands.
