There is a rhythm to life, a natural order of endings and beginnings. When we resist the flow, we create suffering. So let go, life is too abundant to hold on to what is ready to change.

Today our Sarah House family lost an irreplaceable team member, Carlos.

This is a letter to our friend Carlos,

Carlos, if we could turn back time and we could reach you for just 1 hour…
So we could make you feel all the love you planted in this lifetime.

Joy, community, friendship, genuine care to those you served.
Your absence hurts.
May God receive you with all the love he has for his children .
From all of us here at Sarah House, thank you for so much extraordinary kindness.
You will be with us always.

Your Sarah House Family.😔♥️

In our home we see freedom differently…

The freedom to dance at anytime of day or night.
The freedom to choose to stay in bed till 1pm.
The freedom to eat ice cream, for any meal.
The freedom to decide no more pills.
The freedom to want to be independent regardless of the risk of falling, yes; we all have the right to fall.
The freedom to feel all emotions at anytime in our 24hr cycle.

The freedom to express, withhold, shine or wirhdraw as it feels right during this journey.
And the right to depart on their own terms.💕
