faith in humanity restored.

  Today I got the most fabulous phone call.  A call from Sharon Bigelow.  Sharon is from the Navigate Cancer Foundation.  The Navigate Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization that pairs up cancer patients and their families with knowledgeable oncology nurses, dedicated to improving cancer care outcomes.  She was a breath of fresh air.  A calmness in the storm,  a drop of water in the desert.  She gave me such encouragement.  She gave me priceless information...all at no cost to me.  It's really hard to believe there are people still out there like that. 

 She also reiterated how curable this cancer really is...how wonderful the prognosis really can be...I so needed those words.  She even sounded as if she were crying with me as I spilled the contents of my heart.

I had truly lost my faith in humanity here lately.  We all watch the news..bad stuff here, bad stuff there, bad stuff everywhere.  Kind and generous people are few and far between and random acts of kindness now are almost unheard of.  That is, until I met Sharon...

Sharon,  though I'm sure you might never see this blog, but just in case you do, in case fate brings you to this page like the call I received from you earlier,  I'd like to say thank you.
Today in the spirit of the season, you made my heart grow 3 times its size.
