I've been following the intimate and incredibly moving story of a young American couple's battle with cancer. Alison had been diagnosed two years ago but, with the love and unfailing support of her very caring husband, she showed tremendous courage and dignity as her illness took its toll. Sadly, Alison passed away yesterday. I didn't know her or her husband, Tom. But that's the power of the worldwide web. Connecting people whose paths would never otherwise cross. Opening windows into lives being lived. Having an impact and inspiring without ever meeting face to face.
