Joshua is my only grandson and he's fighting stage 3 Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. I am so honored to be his grandmother and see his heroic fight and witness first hand all the random acts of kindness from even total strangers. I makes me more aware to be the person who can pay It forward by finding ways everyday to be kind.
