Small acts of kindness!

I was working in a special team and one of the requirements for being chosen to work in that team was that I did not take any leave during a specific period of time, I then had to explain to my team members why I was not going to be at work for an unspecified period of time. My mastectomy was scheduled for the Wednesday after the Queens Birthday long weekend. On the Friday prior to the long weekend my team threw a Good luck party for me and had gone to the trouble of all making home made dishes that were special to them. I was given a magnificent send off which also included an absolutely gorgeous hand knitted scarf so I could wrap my neck and shoulders up and stay warm while I sat in my garden and recuperated. Truly perfect and incredibly touching. Other team mates sent me the most colourful, stunning bunch of flowers to celebrate my birthday which was the day after I was released from hospital. Very very much appreciated and the flowers that were picked totally made my day with their beauty. I am so very incredibly lucky to work with such wonderful, thoughtful people. Add to that my wonderful older sister who came and stayed for two weeks so that she could drive my beautiful mum to come and visit me every day of my 5 day stay in hospital and the two also attended my surgeons appointments with me. Priceless shows of love.
