Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Status Update

I’m back at work for only the second time this week. The past couple of weeks has been hard and I’m exhausted. My dad is worth the effort though. I so need a break from it all.

Nurses Rock!

Over the past 16 days we have witnessed the professionalism and hard work of so many outstanding health care professionals at Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga. Nurses, CNA’s, Med Tech’s and other related caregivers have done a great job of taking care of my dad. They provide hands-on healing and care for so many people who are sick. I am grateful for them getting my dad back home. Nursing and related fields is hard work but it’s a calling and for those who do it they are worthy of their noble title and deserve to be rewarded in so many ways. Nurses do indeed rock!

Update On My Dad 8/14/19

My Dad has returned home to be with my mom and his assisted living community. He is now under hospice care which is better than being in the hospital. He is doing as best he can under the circumstances. Seeing him struggle to do things makes my heart ache. We are all so very tired but its so worth it to take care of this amazing person we love so much.
