Thoughts on Ground Hog Day

This just in via Jeff in Maine, a cancer survivor, speaking to a group from Maine about the role of the survivor:
"Each of us has a responsibility as a survivor of this non-discriminating disease to be there for another that has just begun the journey."

To be the experienced eyes to see the journey that lies ahead

To be the attentive ears to listen non-judgmentally

To be the comforting shoulder to lean on as long as necessary

To be the understanding smile to brighten the cloudy days

To be the unwavering arms to hold until the day is done

To be the soothing voice to speak encouraging words

To be the steadfast feet to walk side by side every step of the journey
