I did not have an opportunity to speak with Lucy directly, but chatted 1to1 with her husband. He expressed true love and support for his wife. Together they have moved through eight years of challenges and upended plans brought into their lives by Lucy's cancer diagnosis. Instead of anger or regret, he told me of their deep faith, gratitude, and full embrace of the lives they have been gifted.
I believe God sends us challenges, so that we might learn and grow through our experiences.
A friend used to say, “God always answers prayers. His answers consist of only three words: Yes, No, and Wait.” Lucy conveyed her faith in God in similarly concise words. And with confidence.
I, too, have had the opportunity for care at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL. The confidence of the neurosurgeon that performed my surgery was palpable and yet he was soft spoken, humble, and showed no indication of “jet fighter pilot syndrome”. (I’ve known a couple) Later, one of his staff mentioned that patients from all over the world come for his care!
Such staff, just as Lucy indicated, instill confidence through their deeds, not their words. Angels, in my eyes.

Cancer is an excellent teacher.

I like it… and have used the phrase a time or two myself. 😁
😁 “Poy-fect” as one of the Three Stooges used to exclaim.

I’m thinking of my chemo nurse Allie… along with a number of others who cared for me. I truly feel I won the healthcare lottery. 💜
