Cancer Patients

I have set up the inn with a full purpose in mind which is to offer a place of peace for people to come to restore and do away with the pollution of life. During the years I have opened the inn which has been since August of 2006, I have had many different kinds of guests who have come to stay at the inn for different reasons. I have made friends and kept in touch with almost all of them.

However, I never imagined losing any of them through death. I have lost two, one who was quite healthy during his visit with his wife and in-laws. He passed away suddenly in November 2009 which I was very sad to hear of the news. The other was a cancer patient whose sister wanted to take her to a spa or yoga center so after googling she found Kismet Inn and decided to stay at the inn in October 2008. They stayed for 3 nights, One stayed in Room 1 called Saffron, she was the one with cancer and the other sister who was taking care of her stayed in Room 3 called Safari. They enjoyed yoga and massage with dinner at the inn.

Here is a note I received from her sister today.
Dear Shadi, It is good to hear from you. Sadly I must tell you that Barbara passed away on November 24, 2009. She lived to see her daughter marry on September 26, but seemed to lose her purpose after that. We were sorry to see her pass on but knew that she would have peace in her journey. There was a bald eagle flying over her house the day she left us and an owl followed me out of her driveway hours later. She will be with me forever. I will always remember our visit to your Inn and how much better she felt when she left. Your company and your hospitality helped restore her energy and kept her going for a while longer.

I was honored and happy that I was able to offer the hospitality and care that I did. I miss Barbara and Bill ... I know they are both resting in peace... they were both good people.
