A funny thing happened as I left a meeting

First let me just say that everything is going great!  I am running 5 days a week getting ready for the local marathon in October and generally enjoying one of the nicer summers here in a few years.

I wanted to share something that happened to me yesterday as it made my day, I was leaving a work meeting and standing in front of the elevator when a woman approached and asked if my name was Don.  I said yes and she proceeded to tell me that her brother was diagnosed with lymphoma a while back and that a friend of hers suggested reading my blog, she did and she mentioned that it helped her get through things.  I was blown away and stammered something like good to hear that it made a difference and I was happy it did... the elevator arrived and she walked away.

When I started this blog it was mainly for Lori and I to communicate then it moved to me being able to document how I felt so that I did not have to hold on to the stuff.  I guess I have always hoped that it would be a positive place for people to visit but I never expected to meet anyone in person and have them relate to me how positive it was.

Thank you, it really did make my day!
