Saturday 3:57 AM **A Prayer from the Bedside** Dr. Santo Steven Bifulco MD CLCP Father, I have spent my life in rooms where bodies break and people ask why. I used to think my training was the main thing I carried through the door. It is not. I am a physician. Healing belongs to You. […]
I don’t need to pretend that I never felt the pain I don’t need to hide the scars underneath my name Everyone became a lesson I could carry Every stone taught my tired heart how to stay steady I learned that healing isn’t always loud Sometimes it’s getting up when nobody’s around Sometimes it’s forgiving […]
I lost some people I thought would never leave Held on the memories I was too afraid to grieve I blamed myself for things I couldn’t change Carried every failure like a permanent name There were nights I questioned my reason for being Couldn’t see tomorrow, couldn’t trust what I was feeling The morning came […]
One day I’ll be okay One day these tears will fade away I look back at the road I walked and thank myself for staying strong Maybe I’m not here today Baby, I still hurt along the way But I won’t let this pain define the rest of this life of mine I may bend, […]
I woke up this morning with a weight on my chest Another night wondering if I ever get some rest The room was quiet, but my memories were loud Every word I never said still follows me around I used to think the hurt would stay forever Like broken pieces could never come together I […]

My family and I stopped into the hospital room at Pepin Heart ❤️ to see Chery who we’ve been praying for who is the wife of a dear friend Tony. She told me that when she received the wooden cross from Steve Pratten and I doctors have been coming into the room asking where they can get them. I directed her to the website. I can’t wait to share this information with Steve Pratten, Donna Pratten and Stephen Pratten what a wonderful update.
