I went to pick up my cat after his being watched for the day, he had his first insulin shot. We were in the waiting room of the vet's office and a man and his wife walked in the door. I noticed she had on a pink breast cancer shirt with the ribbon in rhinestones.
The man asked me if I walked on the beach in the mornings and I said yes. He said "I recognize you and I wanted to tell you I'm sorry about your cancer. We had a daughter who was 42 (hummm, very close to home) and she died of breast cancer a year ago. We've been watching you walk (the man and his wife-nothing weird) and we knew you before your hair fell out, we just knew it was breast cancer and we've been praying for you."
I just stood there for a few second recovering and while I was recovering, they both gave me a HUGE hug and said they had to run.
It was such a nice ending to such a crappy week! The crappy week isn't health related, it's my real life, not my cancer life! How dare that real life!!
That's an awesome story!
