The Kindness of Strangers
Today I received a get well soon card in the post. It was from someone I'd never met, and contained a $100 gift voucher to a lingerie shop that specialises in fitting post-surgery women such as myself...
we had moved to a rural property just a few months prior to my diagnosis .... our only near neighbours came and brought in a load of wood for our fuel combustion stove and the wife brought over a few meals when unbeknownst to me she had asked my daughter how things were going... my girlfriend on my diagnosis took me out to buy me nice fresh feminine Pjs as I was on Carer's pension and that was a luxury that didn't happen in general for me.... those things really cocooned me in love and support as I went through the roller coaster ride.
