As I was raising money for the Cancer Coping Center this weekend, I met some amazing people with incredible stories. Although several people were cancer survivors, many were not. One woman told me her breast cancer survivor story, not the discovery or the treatment, but her healing.
She created a book before digital storybooking was available. This book was about all the people who took time out of their busy schedule to assist her. She took photos of all the people who brought her meals and the people who brought her other things she needed. She took photos of people who gave her transportation, who listened to her story. She wrote about their kindness and the meaning of their generosity. She took pictures of the people in her support circle and wrote their encouraging thoughts to her. She smiled as she told me the story. She knew that the Healing Through Story mission is the beginning of a long journey that will touch many people's lives and a very important journey to be a part of.
I thank her for her sharing her story and her thoughts.
