“Testify to Love” — Our Song, Our Promise

Dedicated with love to Grandma Carolyn, Grandpa Kenneth, and Mom, Nina.
Your love lives on in the care I give. — Nathanael

“Testify to Love” — dedicated to Grandma Carolyn, Grandpa Kenneth, and Mom, Nina.

The official song of Kitchen Monk™ and Flourishing Nursing™. Inspired by Jesus, we seek to love faithfully and never give up on anyone. Rooted in faith and compassion, we welcome people of every faith and none.

From Nathanael: Touched by an Angel was one of my favorite childhood shows—and one of my mom’s favorites, too. It is part of the family memories I treasure with my mother, Grandma, and Grandpa. I missed the chance to say goodbye to my grandfather, but I was determined to be there for his funeral. I showed up, played this song, and promised to testify to love forevermore. All of my work is dedicated to Grandpa Kenneth, whom I miss boundlessly. This song is dedicated with love to my grandparents, Kenneth and Carolyn Smith, and my mother, Nina. Grandpa, I love you. My promise continues.

Love expressed through action

  • Listen to the person and what matters to them.
  • Protect dignity, especially when someone feels vulnerable or overlooked.
  • Respect each person’s beliefs, choices, and wishes.
  • Keep helping people find appropriate care, including when their needs extend beyond what we can provide ourselves.

Whose love do you carry forward? Take a quiet moment to remember someone who shaped your life—and one act of care that could honor them today.
