She had an ingenuous smile; she took my outstretched hand and held it gently in both her hands as she told me about the years she’d spent with her dad in and out of MD Anderson. MD Anderson gave her wonderful memories of car trips to Houston and extra time with her dad as he fought cancer. She smiled, thanked me one more time and gave me a warm hug. My trip to NYC and speaking at the Harvard Club was filled with wondrous moments, but her words gave me the most joy. This morning as I sorted through the pictures I’d taken on the trip, I found this shot with the meandering river and my superimposed watch, and her story spilled over me again. Take time today for joy with others!
