You managed to move me to tears this morning, Teresa. Of course, I get weepy with dish soap commercials…😉 But thank you so much for this truly special post.

Most of us who are in the forum are here because we or family/friends have been tossed into some medical event that has us scrambling for answers. It’s like being lost in a huge wilderness with no idea which way to turn to reach a sanctuary. So it is up to those of us who have found our way out to grab others by the hand and offer them guidance and hope. You have done the same thing for others with your personal health journey, Teresa.

Fred Rogers often told this story about when he was a boy and would see scary things on the news: "My mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people.”

Connect gives us all the opportunity to be helpers. ☺️
