Find courage through others and learn how shared kindness and
compassion strengthens. As we stood in
line together at radiation oncology, I learned they were driving 8 hours every Monday
for her early appointments, and on Fridays drove back to share a weekend with
their kids. Her cancer recurrence was a
huge shock. Sitting in her wheelchair,
she told me driving 16 hours every week and seeing their kids only on the
weekends was a low cost to pay for the hope of more days with family. We swapped stories about our families, then
she left for her treatment, and after my treatment, I looked in all the waiting
rooms, but they were gone. Walking back
to work, I realized the healing gift she’d given me, by simply connecting and
caring. Connect and care today, and
heal!
