Maria is dying. Then carer takes something out of his pocket and fulfills her last wish.
Maria, a former music teacher in an Ohio care facility, wished for one final song. Her former student, Joshua Woodard, now a caregiver, fulfilled her wish by singing “How Great Thou Art,” a song close to her heart. Joshua had known Maria since childhood, and this special moment, recorded by Maria’s sister-in-law, showcased the deep connection between them. This touching act highlights the comfort that music and compassionate care can bring, especially in life’s final moments, as beautifully expressed by hospice advocate Marti Adkins Redmond.
