little lAdy in<br />

the CAnCer wArd<br />

Several years ago while going through cancer<br />

treatment, I was in a room with about 15 other<br />

oncology patients in a major Seattle hospital.<br />

As I sat there feeling sorry for myself, ill<br />

and miserable along with these others, I looked<br />

around and realized everyone was a sorry mess!<br />

In fact, we were all in such terrible shape, it<br />

was quite humorous. As I smiled, a little black<br />

lady sitting across from me said, “What are you<br />

laughing at?”<br />

I said, “Oh, am I laughing?”<br />

She said, “Yes; what <strong>do</strong> you have <strong>that</strong> big<br />

smile on your face for?”<br />

I said, “Well, ma’am, have you looked around<br />

this room? We are the most sorry-looking bunch<br />

of people you have ever seen!”<br />

She replied, “Well, I <strong>do</strong>n’t think it is funny!”<br />
