The kindness of others...

This has been a humbling journey in so many ways, and one of those ways has been in experiencing the amazing kindness of others!

We've met some wonderful people here in Little Rock, people from near and far who are on the same journey.

I mentioned J & M in a previous post. They are local couple, and J started his treatment on TT4 Lite just about the same time I did. We became friendly passing by in the clinic during induction. We exchanged numbers last week and have been keeping in touch. He is doing re-staging this week will start his first transplant next week. They decided to push back a week so they can enjoy Easter with their family.

Yesterday his wife M brought us a home cooked meal...chicken noodle soup for me and pizza for Alex. She dropped it off in the middle of a thunderstorm while J was at the medical center having his MRI's done. The food was fabulous and we were just blown away by the thoughtfulness and kindness of the act. I mean they are riding this same roller coaster, but still took the time to think of us and brighten our day. So thank you J & M, we feel so lucky to have crossed your path!

  1. Wow. Is it weird that it made my eyes well up to read that? It's no surprise that you & Alex have that effect on people.... Happy Easter mama, hope that bunny brings you lots of good news!
