Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live

radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on

serious XM Triumph 111. Edward, welcome to the program.

Well, good afternoon, Dr. Lord.

It's quite a pleasure to speak with you.

I've been a listener for quite a long time.

And this call is more of a call of gratitude earlier this year, early in the year.

I heard you take a call from a lady whose father was in

palliative care. And you know you get a lot of variety of calls. Some of them are

are some of them are laughable and some people are so stupid that you can laugh at them, but this particular one struck an emotion at me.

And she asked you what you what you could say to her father who was in

palliative care and you know it didn't cause me to break down a bit not even knowing who this person was and what they're going through.

But I had to go through the same problem about three weeks later, funny enough.

And because of your, because of, like I was meant to hear that call.

And it just helped me prepare for the inevitable of watching my mom pass away.

Well, I'm appreciative you believe I was helpful.

That's good. Thank you. Yeah and you know it's it's been a tough year but

So how do you think you handled how do you think you handled those hours differently than you might have?

Well, I think the ladies that I'm talking about that called you was looking for guidance.

I don't know if I would have done the things.

I made sure that I told her I loved her and that she mattered.

Yes.
