Clyde Lee's Story
I'm a Registered Nurse, have been in Acute Hospital Care for 33 years. The last 20 years in Emergency Care at a Kaiser Hospital in Sacramento, CA.
After getting my BSN from San Jose State I worked at The Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Gatos for 13 years.
I went on to get a Master of Public and Health Services Administration From the University of San Francisco.
I am a widower with three grown children. My youngest Sara, a little bird of a young lady -- taught me, after two boys, Ryan at 6'4" tall, a Fireman/Paramedic in Danville and, Cailean at 6'2", is here living in the Auburn area and, in construction -- Sara taught me that daughters truely are 'Gifts from God' to fathers.
She's just started college at Sierra Community College in Rocklin.
As each new year passes since Camden came and went, (40 years ago!), my list of things that are truely important keeps getting smaller aqnd my joy and pleasures are from the more simple things in life - God, Family, Friends, Community and nostagic things are all that remains unchallenged.
Things I've never done have become less important than wishin...Expand for more
g I had done more of what I had simply taken for granted as 'everyday experiences' in the past.
When we were younger, it seemed a big rush to do the undone at the expense of doing better with the things I did daily.
Friends, my children, my wives - yeah, 3 of them, all the loving relationships I was fortunate enough to have, deserved more;
nurturing than I gave, More time, that I took away from instead of spent on, the only things I'll take with me when I've passed are what I would change now, what I look back on with regret.
I only wish I had spent more time caring for those things that remain on my important list. Those things that truely enrich a person, the only meaningfulthings that count - I wish I had spent more time with others and less on me. What a waste!
Well, now I spend mot of my time making up for it. I try to fortify those loving relationships I have remaining. I try to send time with those I care about now, I try not to take away from today what I could have spent yesterday unless it is in the service of anyone other than myself.
- to be continued, ad lib.
