Seriously. I had a lot of trouble with the idea of making a living off the suffering of others when I worked with children with cancer, AIDS,MD & Cystic Fibrosis. What do you say to moms whose children are on beepers waiting for a heart/lung transplant? Excuse me, Maam, but you need to pay your $15 copay?<br /><br />But then someone would bake us cookies, or call to tell us how much more pleasurable we made the situation for their child, a little girl would draw me a picture, or a Dad would send a note thanking us. We didn't make a living off the suffering. We helped to bring healing, and compassion to the people who needed it most.<br /><br />That is what you are doing as well. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
