Ringing of the Bell!

Today was a big day for celebration for one of our friends who completed her treatments.  On the wall of the treatment area hangs a bell, that sounds out loudly after the long weeks of radiation treatment or chemo are completed.  It was a Blessing today when Cora and I met with the family of a Grandmother reaching that goal.  Her daughter, granddaughters and grandson were all there to share in that joy.  Cora was so excited to see children in the waiting area, she was "smiling" from ear to ear!  Hospitals and clinics can sometimes be a frightening place for children, but today it was one of giggles and laughter as they sat on the floor playing and petting a "Caring Canine".  What a way to start the holidays!
Outside the area is the Healing Garden, the sidewalk is engraved with different words and phrases.  Today the word "Hope" rings loud and clear!  Merry Christmas!
