Chiara Badano

Chiara Badano died a teenager from terminal bone cancer.  She could not even walk in her last year.  Chemo did little good.  She would not accept her confinement as making her helpless.  Instead, she reached out to others through letters and phone calls.  She said that she still had her heart and with that she could still love.  So what about us who might be whining or saying we are helpless in this time of Covid, isolated from community and fun stuff?  Can we step up our game and see what we can still do, and share that with others who might be down or feel lonely?  The Coronavirus has not eliminated letter writing for many of us or phone calls.  Even if no one answers they will get the message that someone was thinking of them and reaching out.  Friendship takes work.
