We are now
on a journey of a different sort.
Before I go
into our new journey, I want to just put it out there that we are not religious
so don’t need any blessings poured down over our heads or to hear about prayers
or about sympathy. We don’t care if this is what you do privately but we don’t
need to hear about it. This is not a blog reaching out for anything, just simply
a blog about our journey.
Today it is
about the small things in life that make a difference. It’s about remembering
to be a friend and reaching out.
We are at
the Cancer Lodge for an extended stay. Needless to say, most of the people in
here are without their family members, hence, support comes from within the
group.
One person
has a treatment that has damaged the exposed skin. It is terribly painful and
causes other problems. I reach out to the person especially
when they are in pain.
Yesterday at
lunch, my friend was in obvious pain. A new patient in treatment came over to
my friend and handed my friend a little handmade gift. It wasn’t much but it
was just a sweet little gift that had taken some effort to make.
That
exchange led me to tears. It was just a small gift but from the heart, one
patient to another.
What have I
given to lighten one’s day?
