Sometimes we think that we have to do great and glorious things to make a difference in someone's life. That is a bit of a misunderstanding. Sometimes just being there as a friend is wonderful beyond our imagination.
Such is the case in the life of Devon and Paul Hewlett. This wonderful couple are friends of my daughter, and now our friends. They proved that friendship as my daughter was going through lymphoma several years ago. But the amazing thing is, Devon was fighting breast cancer at the same time. Through their shared challenge to hope, they helped bring hope to each other.
This episode is their story told from Devon as the patient and Paul as the caregiver.
I'm reminded of Proverbs 17:17, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother (sister- my edit) is born for adversity." (English Standard Version)
Thank you Devon and Paul for being there for my daughter when we couldn't.
