Thanking Dan's Care Team

My Mom took Dan to his treatments over the year that he was on chemotherapy.  I am in awe of her strength- that she is able to visit the nursing staff to say thank you.

For many weeks I've been trying to come up with a thank you gift for the nurses in the infusion room who took such good care of Dan. Yesterday while shopping at Kohl's I bought a frame for Dan's skydiving picture/Laura' inspirational saying. I printed the picture when I got home, framed it and hung it on the wall. This morning as I admired my handiwork, I realized what the nurse gift would be. I took down the picture, wrapped it and took it to Fox Chase with a handwritten note and Dan's prayer card tucked inside. As luck would have it (or Dan), one of the nurses who took care of him the most was there to receive the gift. She was a bit overwhelmed and said the picture will find a place to inspire others. Some how this turned out to be the perfect gift - thanks for the intervention, Dan! Next week I will head back to Kohl's and choose another frame. Who knows where this one will end up??????????

Regards,
Judy
