A Day to Remember

Deb contacted me through my website and shared her story with me.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in February and is half-way through chemo treatments.  She has lost her hair and asked to receive one of my pink scarves.  She asked if I could drop the scarf off while she was receiving chemo and so we arranged the day and time. 

June 5th I had the privilege of meeting Deb.  I gave her a scarf and she was so happy.  She said is was just beautiful and it brought tears to her eyes!  It felt as if we had been friends forever.  We proceeded to visit and I found out that we share something in common – we both lost our mothers in the same month we were diagnosed with cancer.  We visited about how difficult that time was but admitted we’ve grown because of the experience.

Deb’s three sisters were with her that day and I had the pleasure of meeting them as well.  They were wonderful and they’re such a strong support system for Deb.

Deb provided me with yarn, a financial contribution, and a card.  The card read “thank you for the scarf and visit, but more importantly, thank you for all you do for those of us fighting breast cancer.  What a kind heart you have!  Grateful, Deb.

I shared with Deb before I left  that we may be strangers when we meet but when you become part of the pink scarf family, you become a friend for life!
