I have been a radiation therapist for 29 years and I have met and bonded with a lot of patients over the years. Each day I’m amazed at what I learned from them. One courageous woman once told me she was prepared to die. Her children were raised and doing well on their own. She felt they had good morels and work ethics that gave them meaningful jobs. She said she finished her most meaningful job and was ready for her fate because she knew her family would be fine. When she told me this she was so sincere and confident, it gave me a lot of respect for her. At the time in my own life I had three children in middle school and felt my children were on the right track, but I couldn’t imagine getting to a spot where I would feel how she did.
