There are some people you meet, and instantly love and walk away from, feeling like your heart is smiling.
Frank Nelson is one of those people. I have no doubt the diagnosis of cancer, then 22 months later hearing the word “terminal” was devastating! But that did not stop Frank. He changed his life, found new purpose and his eyes sparkle when he talks about the people he has helped. He has had it all; surgery, radiation and continues to have chemotherapy. There are down days and fatigue. But most of the time Frank is too busy giving to worry about all that. What is Frank’s mission? What keeps him motivated and happy? Paying it back and acts of kindness. With supportive family, friends and volunteers, Frank has given money to people facing hard times, he gives away clothes, has surprised a struggling family with groceries, gave mattresses to people who were sleeping on the floor and so much more. He works tirelessly, doing big things and little things. And they are all acts of kindness and make the world a better place. And he is loving his life! I am in awe of Frank and all that he has done and continues to do. Thank you, Frank, for being the change you want to see in the world, for making a difference and inspiring more people than you will ever know. You have certainly inspired me!
