Every once in a while you meet someone who is just what you needed right then. This person my be someone at work, or a person that lives near you, or they could be online, or in the coffee shop or whatever. They are the perfect person for the situation.
About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a tumor on my thyroid. I was told it would have to be removed in the next 6 months. Not 3 months after that I ran into a woman at work who had the same scar on her neck that I would soon have on mine. One day I pulled her aside in the hall at work and asked her if I could ask a personal question.
She answered all my questions honestly. She told me it would hurt, and she showed me her scars. She told me what to expect, and how much time to take off from work, and she really helped me through a tough time. I still see her at work, and I will never forget how wonderful it was to have her around to ask these questions to.
About 6 months ago I met another one of these friends. This time it was someone online. I have never met this friend in person, but can I just tell you what a wonderful friend he has been for me. He has listened to me, and helped me find support and people I can talk to. He has sent me books, and brownies, and they were wonderful!
I want to thank my friends for their support. These two, and all the others out there that I have. I couldn't do it without you!
