This was Mr. Williams' first day in the elders' art class, and Mrs. Brown, the teacher, spent lots of time making him feel welcome. Not only did she help him get started with his drawing, but offered him sympathy and support when he shared about his ongoing chemo and radiation therapies for throat cancer. Mr. Williams speaks with the aid of a voice box and uses a motorized wheelchair to get around, but I believe Mrs. Brown gave him a strong dose of healing medicine today just by her loving presence.
