Today I witnessed a most wonderful thing. I was sitting in a waiting room at the Moffitt Cancer Center in the Radiation area waiting for Steve to return from his treatment. There were several people and their families waiting for their treatments. The schedule calls for the patient to see one of the radiation Dr.'s at least once a week - first you go to radiation, go back to the waiting room and then go in to see the Dr. A Dr. came into the waiting room and came up to his patient. Explained he was there early and if the patient wanted he would see him/her then so he/she wouldn't have to wait around. Of course he/she said "Sure!" As he/she got up he/she was a little unsteady. The Dr. said, "Oh here, take my hand and we can walk to my office." They walked off down the hall hand in hand.
Such kindness from an unexpected place. Remember, each time you reach out your hand to touch someone, you may be affecting more than that one person.
