Last night we picked Katie (our two-year-old) and Natalie (our 3m old)
up from my mother-in-law's house from going out to dinner with my best
friend from San Francisco and her husband. While we were putting her
jacket on she was watching the t.v. And a St. Jude's Research Hospital
came on with Jennifer Aniston and two oncology patients that were
probably near 7 years old. Katie was watching it and said "You see the
babies?"
I began to cry. My husband also choked up replied with "You're right Katie! Those are somebody's babies."
The innocence of children! I pray for those "babies" on t.v. and all the
other "babies" going through chemo. Never again will I look at an
oncology patient the same regardless of their age. I will look at them
through the eyes of a two-year-old and a father's wonderful reply of
them being someone's baby.
