My friend and co-worker Marcia has been undergoing the [challenge? horror?] of breast cancer for what seems like a very long time now. Since her ordeal began, she’s been out of the office for long periods of time, and I worry about her. But I just don’t know what I can do for her. So every so often, I send her a care package, stuff to help her relax and feel better; stuff to make her laugh. Every so often I drive her to the grocery store or over to the hospital for a treatment. I feel like it’s not enough, but I can see her smile even though she feels awful.
I guess sometimes little things like that are a lot of help.
That said, if you’d like to send a card or letter to Elizabeth Edwards, you can do so at P.O. Box 75428, Washington, DC 20013.
Just don’t ignore her.
Don’t pretend everything is fine…it isn’t.
Sounds like you’re doing it exactly right. It’s the little things that matter.
