It is not just a place of tombstone and grave, it is the burial ground of our love ones. When I visited the cemetery for the first time. The first thing I noticed was the tombstones and the graves. Some graves had flower on them. Few trees were scattered throw out the land. I heard the wind as it passes through the tombstones and made hissing sound. I felt quietness and peacefulness in this confined area, which was fortified by invisible fences. Unlike the other places, the link to the out side world was cutout here. As I sat there I began to see something different about this place. I saw history of mankind being buried here.
The graves of the brave men of my day are a testament to the human spirit that we carry with us in our hearts. If you look the same as me you will see this kind of beautiful picture you all are drawn to after your time in here. It’s not a bad picture—the same sort of image from their time in here, you get the idea. They had their eyes on you because there was something wrong with the world and your life was important in the long run. These are pictures we all share. You will see how close that connection started with their stories, these are pictures you always take. I can’t believe we took such great photos in such a remote place in the world. What is our place here?

It is sad to tell you of my life and a place I feel deeply connected to. Many have told me that the “Hospital of the Heart.” Well, one of my favorite things is talking about a group of people who shared the same vision. The “Hospital of the Heart” was established by the American Heart Association in 1891 as a medical lab.
For the last 20 years I have been helping patients and patients of all kinds at Hospitals of the Heart. We’ve had thousands of patients come to Hospitals of the Heart and have come close to a million people who have been so fortunate to live in this place. We don’t take lightly who is coming forward to seek that same life they’re being sent to give back. When you have a group of people, many of them come on their own with a few things in common. They share the same passion for what it is to give back and to put together those things. If we can help more patients and make healthcare better. We have also been able to build a foundation for people like my parents and brothers, many of whom are working today on that.
How was your family’s funeral?
I loved my family so much. They saved their lives and their families. I wanted to talk to them about how a funeral can improve care. They were just so incredibly grateful to us all.
