If you take the news too seriously it will tell you people are criminals, thugs, terrorists, or just plain nasty. But there is another side of humanity that the news doesn't advertise: people who actually love and care for others without expecting anything in return. We have experienced first hand the many people who live out the "Do unto others" command better than we've seen it done (and for which we are grateful recipients)..
Being on this side of an illness is teaching us things we never really had to think about: how best to support others in their time of need (because now we've experienced the best ways people have supported us); when to reach out to someone in need (people need different things at different times) and that prayer is incredibly powerful and comforting. We continue to get emails, calls, letters and cards. It blows me away how kind, thoughtful and caring friends, family and even total strangers have been. Thank you for being great examples.
