A conversation with my brother on our drive home led to this thought and statement. In a day where technology abounds via Facebook, txt messages, Skype, web meetings, etc...
Never underestimate the power of physical presence and "being there."
It is something my parent's generation knows and understands well and I've seen practiced when they show up at someone's doorstep with a casserole or at the hospital just to say "we're thinking about you as you go thru this."
They don't send out txt messages, don't post a Facebook message: they go out of their way to "be there" simply to say we love and support you.
There's something powerful in that...
