When we are terrified - tell us you're there.

When we cry - accept it.

When we cannot focus on the conversation - fill in for us. When we awaken scared - hold us.

When we tell our story for the millionth time - remember it's real. When nightmares keep us awake - be patient.

When we go for our 6,000, 12,000 or 24,000 mile checkup - be there.

When our treatment is over - remember this does not end for us.

When we don't know who we are - tell us we are somebody.

When we are optimistic - help us appreciate the day.
