Glenn and Cheryl are two such friends who have touched me deeply. Although we've never met in person, I have found an abiding inspiration in their journey.
As we near the end of our 31 Day Challenge on Grace for the Caregiver here are a few of his thoughts on Caregiving...
"I have found
since we began this journey in Nov 2012, that the little things that inspire the
soul are really important to the person fighting the battle. To Cheryl, sunsets
and sunrises are gifts of beauty that raise the spirit for the next battle, the
next day. A snow fall here makes everything pure and white, and she loves to
look out over the fields to see the fresh little animal tracks that were made
during the night. We have a little red fox that teases our dogs every day, and
Cheryl actually gets a kick out of that. So the first day of her chemo in
January, I found a little plush red fox at the gift centre and took it to her.
It is her constant companion now both day and night. I firmly believe now that
one of my jobs, no, one of my privileges as her care giver is
to help her find these spirit and soul-lifting things... Glenn"
It is truly a privilege of immense proportions
to walk out our love every day along this journey.
