Day Six

One lesson strongly reinforced through having a life-threatening health emergency afflict one of your children is that your eyes are re-opened to all of the other catastrophes happening to other families every day. Every other family we saw in the cancer ward is living their own uprooted and sometimes devastated lives. Every cashier who asks how my day is going still gets "fine, thanks" because I don't want to drag them down. Everyone you see and maybe even know well, you have no idea what they may be going through behind that smile. May I propose that today is a good day for a random act of kindness, you never know how it might affect a life for the better. God bless.
