when my husband went through his second stem cell transplant there were three people on our floor who had undergone stem cell transplants.

One night in the kitchen at Hope Lodge in NYC three of us, really six of us with caregivers, discussed religion for a very, very brief moment. One happened to be Jewish, another Muslim and us raised in a Christian family. The conversation quickly shifted to survival mode, treatments, medication, insurance coverage etc. We all lived together for three months and still keep in touch, minus one.

Wars have been going on for centuries over religion and in more recent times for resources and who profits.
