How can a little bead be of so much help to children with cancer, one could ask. The power is the story that the beads are telling as part of the Chain of Courage that a child buids. The Chain enhances the meaning of each individual bead and all these little beads together tell his or her treatment personal journey.
Who else than parents and children can better explain the power of a little bead.
A mother of a son (13 years old) with cancer wrote a beautiful poem about it:
The years have passed,
absorbed in everything.
The beads are strung,
form a meter-long story.
The time is set,
deep valleys and high peaks
captured in images.
Joy and love
trapped in our hearts.
The memories fade.
The years have passed,
absorbed in everything.
With gratitude first.
