Adam
While recuperating from her second open-heart surgery at Children's
Hospital of Western Ontario, my six-year-old daughter, Kelley, was
moved from the intensive care unit to the floor with the other
children. Because a section of the floor was closed, Kelley was
put in the wing reserved for cancer patients.
In the adjacent room, a six-year-old boy named Adam was fighting a
battle with leukemia. Adam stayed at the hospital for a portion of
each month while receiving chemotherapy treatments. Every day Adam
sauntered into Kelley's room to visit, pushing the pole that held
his chemotherapy bag. Despite the discomfort of the treatments,
Adam was always smiling and cheerful. He entertained us for hours
with his many stories. Adam had a way of finding the positive and
the humor in any situation, however, difficult.
One particular day, I was feeling tired and anxious for Kelley's
release from the hospital. The gray, gloomy day outside only
fueled my poor mood. While I stood at the window looking at the
rainy sky, Adam came in for his daily visit. I commented to him
on what a depressing day it was. With his ever-present smile,
Adam turned to me and cheerily replied, 'Every day is beautiful
for me'.
From that day on I have never had a gloomy day. Even the grayest
days bring a feeling of joy as I remember with gratitude the
words of wisdom spoken by a very brave six-year-old boy named
Adam.
