At age 12, a boy is full of questions.

Who is he?  Where did he come from?  Why is his mother's love given so freely, while he can't seem to earn his father's love and respect, no matter what he does?

Young Richard Larsen seeks the answers to those questions during a summertime trip to his family's farms in Nebraska.

Goin' To Nebraska Excerpts

~Odyssey HealthCare Stories

Medieval pilgrims traveled miles by foot to holy sites stopping to rest at hospitum - guest houses - to regain strength to complete their journeys

The word hospice comes from this term: not grim places to die but a protected time and heart space

to gather one's courage and prepare to greet one's final destination in the loving arms of fellow travelers

and arrive in peace and safety at the Sacred
