The Kindess of Strangers

It has been humbling for me to watch Jerry battle this disease and humbling to read letters of support from people around the country. Here is a note I received today, for instance:

"Although I don't know your brother personally, he is my brother too. I work for the same organization as Jerry but in our San Francisco office. I heard about Jerry's battle through his co-worker/friend and immediately felt compelled to assist in any way I could. Please relay on to Jerry that my wife and I are praying for him and for the rest of your family. If there is anything that we could do for you please do not hesitate to contact me."

My brother belongs to a truly remarkable "Band of brothers." I wish I could join...
