Look out the window, there's your name up there!

It has become a beloved ritual at Dana-Farber.
Every day, children who come to the clinic write their names on sheets of paper and tape them to the windows of the walkway for ironworkers to see.
Ironworkers spray paint names of young cancer patients onto the beams of the Yawkey Center going up at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.




"It's fabulous," said Kristen's mother, Elizabeth, as she held her daughter and marveled at the rainbow of names.
"It's just a simple little act that means so much."

I leave you with a quote of Mother Teresa as a "wrap up":
"Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love without getting tired".
