CONVERSATE
An unexpected cancer diagnosis. A school community's loving response. Reluctant and painful change. A student who has lost his mother to the same cancer. A chair, a desk, a classroom. Conversations that heal.
I invite you to share your experience with us. Respond to this month's CONVERSATE prompt.
