I knew I'd forget something!  My brain is not at it's best right now.  : )  I wanted to mention in yesterday's post that after the broadcast ended and we were gathering up our things, a man approached me.  His hairdo was identical to mine.  When you see a man with no hair, you can easily assume it could just be his chosen hairstyle, but his was not.  He came to tell me that he has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and is going through chemo right now too.  We compared notes and shared insights for about 15 minutes.  Then, there was another couple standing in the doorway of the chapel waiting for us.  She said she had Leukemia about 5 years ago, she talked to me and encouraged me.  I was totally amazed that these two complete strangers would approach me and offer support and encouragement through sharing their stories with me.  I will provide the same kind of support for people as I encounter them throughout my life.
