“Thomas Svobada arrived at the
nursing home in NE Portland
when the cherry trees outside his
window were bare. … Now the
blossoms have peaked and on
a warm spring afternoon they
drift onto his shoulders as he sits
outside in his wheelchair.”
– David Stabler, reporter,
The Oregonian
Thomas is Oregon’s most
prolific and performed
composer. For the past
seven months, he has been
recovering from a debilitating
stroke that affected his right
side with partial paralysis. It
happened suddenly when he
and his wife of nearly 50 years
were preparing dinner. For
weeks, his recovery was slow,
but then he began improving,
and he continues to make
progress. And he continues
to move people through his
music.
Do any of us plan for this kind
of an event? No one I have
interviewed ever has. One of
the lessons from this heart-
wrenching and heartwarming
story is that legacy and giving
back are the essence of who
and what we are—today and
tomorrow. Thomas is known
as a composer whose music
is played around the world,
a teacher to a generation of
music students, a mentor
to scores of composers, an
amazing pianist, and a playful
friend.
People move to Touchmark
for many reasons. Most
will tell you, though, that
they wish they had moved
here sooner. All appreciate
the fullness of life and
opportunities for living—and
continuing to create—their
legacy. Each person has a life
story and talents to share,
and overwhelmingly residents
are optimistic and grateful
for the options available at
Touchmark.
To find out more about the
possibilities of living a {FULL}
Life and providing a personal
legacy, contact a member of
the Full Life team. As Robert
Schuller said—and others
repeat—“If it’s going to be, it’s
up to me.”
