Gloria Gemma Hope Bus visits the VA Medical Center

Some things feel so meaningful, i have to share.  So, I am doing so. 
Yesterday, I joined the Gloria Gemma Hope bus at the VA Medical Center in Providence as part of their Arts/Music Therapy .. such a rewarding day. I went inside and played music for the veterans in the dialysis unit .. they really enjoyed the music, although i joked about them literally being a "captive audience" LOL .. we had fun. Then back on the bus, as men and wo...men came aboard, some quietly listening as others shared their stories as if they have been waiting for an opportunity to talk to someone.. and there are wonderful "someones" on the Hope Bus... The standout moment of the day for me was the woman who sat quietly making her starfish, listening to the music.. not saying much until at some point she apparently felt comfortable enough to stand up and proudly announce " I am 9 yrs cancer free!!! " you should have seen the smile on her face ...
I am grateful ~ I am blessed to have the the opportunity to share my gift of music in way that truly makes a difference in the lives of others.
If you get an opportunity, do stop by the Gloria Gemma Hope Bus ♥
