That's wonderful, Kate - There ARE good people out there, helping other good people. ;) Are we gonna see a photo???
Yep - when hubby was in having his 8hr stomach removal surgery from cancer - I was a mess in the waiting room, not knowing if he would even survive the surgery. I was waiting for him knowing he would be brought down to ICU & a lady who's Dad was in ICU with a stroke took me under her wing & took me for a walk in the hospital grounds, calmed me down & bought me a coffee and I will forever remember her thoughtfulness, when she was already in her own hour of need.
@Zoffiel How wonderful was that ..... I know how tricky it is in Sydney, trying to find 24hr parking that isn't charged by the hour! :(
@Romla - bummer about the need for another operation - but how lovely of your specialist to contact you to allay you fears. :) There ARE good people out there. xx
