IMAGINE: You're in the pediatric cancer ward with your son who's getting treatment for his Leukemia. Your son hates the shots and the IV and wants to go home. "I know sweetie just a little longer". Your son starts to cry in pain as the nurse comes over and tell you to get some air for a while. You're sitting outside as tears fall down your face you wish you could take the pain away from your son.
"Is this seat taking?" a voice asked. You see a man standing there with a drink in his hand. "Sure sit" and he does. "You all right you look like you've been crying?". "I'm kind of upset my son is upstairs getting chemo and I feel helpless that I can't take his pain away" wiping the tears away. "Know the feeling my son is upstairs too getting chemo and I wish I could take the cancer away from him"he replied.
You guys take about anything to take your mind of the cancer that has invading your childrens' body. "I should get back upstairs thanks for listening". "I'll go up with you". When you come back up you guys notice that your children are sitting in the same bed watching Paw Patrol together which makes you both smile. "Anna Criss I hope you don't mind Johnny and Greg were getting cranky so I thought they could watch a little television together"the nurse stated. You guys go over as the kids just lay there. You and Criss just sit there with them and after the treatment you guys take your kids home to deal with the after effects but you make a pact with each other that if you start to feel overwhelm or sad just call and you guys will talk.
