Couldn't have been more wrong
Lol I couldn't have been more wrong. The very nice lady who had lost her mother had dinner Friday at TGIFiday's my treat. She is very sweet but doesn't get out of the house much. She has to use public transportation because she uses a motorized wheelchair and when her van stopped working she didn't have enough money to fix it. Not to be offensive because I am obese myself but she is one of the people you would either walk past and never seen her, and one teenagers make fun of. But after spending a few hours with her you no longer see that but a strong, independent, and generous woman. She has had cancer four times. She wanted to move home to a small town outside Rochester but was told that the hospital couldn't treat her and wouldn't live long enough to survive the flight. If you listened to the meals on wheels has to offer her even though it is organic and fresh isn't made with keeping weight off. She struggles to get caregivers in her home to help with small chores that aren't absent half the time. She volunteers time for veterans groups and attends funerals of military members to prevent protests from occurring. She also volunteers to make cards and card kits for children in the local oncology ward. This month it will be upwards of 50 card's and she worries about how she is going to come up with the postage to mail the cards because she lives on a limited income. She was so inspiring for me. That beautiful designer card kit that someone else couldn't take time to reply about put tears in her eyes and made her keep asking me are you sure? I had to keep reassuring her that I was more than sure. I gave her enough supplies to make 50 plus Christmas cards and added extra supplies on top of that. That card box went to the best home I can think of. I sorry I haven't been posting more often but I am sick right now and hopefully will get better soon. I will work to post more often. I only made a couple of card's this week because I have been so tired but I will put up a picture of the one that I plan on giving to one of the staff who has kept a close eye on me when my husband isn't here because she worries that I really need to be in the hospital. I probably do but God I hate hospitals. Hope you have a good week and talk to you soon.
