"I've been a chaplain at St. Jude for 29 years, and I've been honored to walk beside a lot of children and their families. Some people think my job is too depressing, but I don't see it that way. It's true that some patients lose their battle, but many are cured! Some of my former patients now work at St. Jude or ALSAC as nurses, in labs, and public relations. I'd say that a major lesson I've learned in my years in the hospital is that we are resilient.  We can endure more than we think we can. There is always potential for gifts to emerge from dark and difficult circumstances. Following a diagnosis of cancer life is never the same, but grace and faith enable us to transcend the experience. Ultimately it is all about relaxing into trust---trust that God walks with and empowers us throughout our journey."
