Have you ever experienced a situation where the most important thing in your mind is to simply "get through it?" The events of this past week have seemed that way. And the fact is, we did get through it. Brent Wiggins' family and friends took huge steps in getting through the funeral and all that goes along with that tradition. Lynn Taylor and the Rouse staff provided much needed guidance in ways in which people don't even know about. I often wonder what we would do if we did not have people who work "behind the scenes" helping us get through life's challenges. There are several folks who fall into that category. During this past week's events, everywhere that I looked, one or more of the members of the GC family was there. Just being there helped us get through it. As I look back, I can see that happening to me during my cancer journey. People were there.
But there is something else that I am discovering each day. Even during those times when I got through it, I find that I still have more journey to travel. I still need those behind the scenes people.
You may wonder if your "small deed" matters. IT DOES! You are needed today and tomorrow and next month and next year. Let me give you a hint. Just be there.
