Our sister blogs, Autoblog and Blogging Baby have posted stories that
illustrate the benefits of internet connection in lives touched by cancer. In a you-can-run-but-you-can't-hide
karmic twist of justice, Matt Frame found his stolen 1967 Camaro
SS online at an eBay auction. Frame and his father had rebuilt the car before his father died of cancer. Of course,
the seller denied that it was the same car, but Frame was able to identify the car as the one stolen from him. On the cosmic scales of fairness, balance was achieved when Anthony McCoy found the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that he had spent twenty years helping his father restore before the death of his father to cancer. Although it was not stolen from him by a thief, it was lost due to financial circumstances when his mother was forced to sell the car after the loss of his father. Found at eBay, McCoy made the successful bid. To McCoy, it is priceless.
As today's final example of the power of the internet to break down any barriers of time and space that can separate us from justice, the scales of fairness, or the ability to nurture relationships beyond the immediate, Jason Levine is a pediatric oncologist who stays in touch by email with his young cancer patients and their families by visiting their personal websites. Blogging Baby found a sweet and humorous story told of how a young patient role plays his email contact with her.
