Strange to say but in so many ways sickness brings out the
best in us.
I know many people who are constant carers. With little respite, they care for sick children, spouses or relations. They are people with reservoirs of compassion, people who never cease to smile even in their darkest hours.
Sickness reminds us that we are ultimately bound up together. In the end, we are all susceptible to the same storms as age and decline take their toll. It is then that we need a caring heart, a strong shoulder and a loving touch.
