A chuckle and a connection!
I was reading through my diary today and found something I'd like to share with you all. A few weeks ago I arranged to have lunch with my work mates at uni who I hadn't seen for a month or too.This was also a chance for me to kill two birds with one stone; visit my wonderful work mates and also buy a birthday present for my sister at the jewellery shop which is also at uni. So I got all made up and donned a scarf and off I went. I walked into the shop and browsed while the owner served another customer. I've bought enough jewellery from this little shop over the past few years for the owner and I to be on a first name basis but I hadn't seen her since last year being off work since February. Anyway, after she had finished with the other customer, she came over to me and said "you know you remind me of a regular customer of mine. In fact you look just like her, her name is Jane". I had to laugh and said "I am Jane". Oh she was so embarrassed but to be fair, we didn't know each other that well and she hadn't seen me since last year. I told her not to worry and she then asked me why I hadn't been in for a while. I think she guessed that it had something to do with cancer. Would it have been the scarf on my head do you think? I explained what was happening to me and wouldn't you know it, she had BC about 10 years ago herself. We now have more than a casual connection! There is always someone out there who has been in our ranks that we can talk to and they can come from the strangest places sometimes! Just a little light hearted story I thought you'd all enjoy. Love from Jane x
