My Life in a Beautiful Small Town....
He heard I am battling the beast again, so he brought me comfort food to help me through any of the rough times~ 7!!! ramekins of his own recipe, restaurant quality, made with love portions of OMG the best mac and cheese ever!!! I just started crying~
He and his wife included the sweetest card along with it, wih thier home phone number, saying if I need ANYTHING, I have it! And he signed the card, "LiveStrong"...
You know all of those people who say "If I can do anything, just let me know?" And of course we never ask those people! But he and his wife just did it!!! Without being asked and without me expecting anything!!!!
Sometimes, at the end of our proverbial day, we do know that there are good, warm, caring,generous souls out there. And it truly does make the ugliness of cancer, and the fear it brings bearable.
Thought you might just want to know that.
And, this come right on the heels of me getting a surprise package from MMontero~ filled with gifts she lovingly collected from some of the CSN family of Kindred Spirits, and sent to me to help me get through these scary days. And, RE also touched my heart with a gift from her heart to mine.
Where would we be without each other?????
Hugs, gratitude and love,
Chen♥

Blessings In Returnsea60 said:What a blessing
Those are people who truly walk the walk.
Mac and cheese...Mmmmmmm. Enjoy! And bask in the care and love from fellow man.
Hugs and well wishes!
Chen, it is only natural that someone as giving as you should be the recipient of such kindness. I am sure these acts are not the last you will see, and positive that you will continue to send blessings to many of us still needing a kind word. Kindness in the dictionary must include the definition "Chen". You are in my thoughts and prayers always, as I know you include us all in yours. Hugs, Judy P.S. Enjoy the mac n cheese....yummy....my favorite comfort food.0 -

community, as it has here on our boards. Mac N Cheese what a wonderful way to say, Hello we cherish you and are here for you.
I know you have probably lost your hair during this new bout of Cancer, and never ONCE have I heard you complain or sense a hint of discouragement from your POSTINGS. You must get exhausted from your doctors visits and chemo .. You are 1 CLASSY WOMAN :-D, your compassion for life and human kind .. seeps thru every word that comes from you -- we gals see it here on our Warrior Board, and those who have the PLEASURE of being around you in PERSON (Reggie and Siobhan - you've lucked out!)

Chen... I am so happy you
Chen... I am so happy you have good neighbors who are reaching out to you and your family. It warms the heart. It is wonderful to hear such stories of ordinary people coming forward to lend a helping hand. The ordinary can be extraordinary at times.
You, Chen, are extraordinary, not sure you know that, but you are dear friend. Manja, manja for us!

This is truly a case of welaurissa said:Hi Chen
How fortunate you are to have so many friends.
This is truly a case of we reap what we sow (in the best possible way). You plant and nuture kindness and caring wherever you are and it is coming back to you. I feel like I responded to this already and I probably did but it bears repeating that this could not have happened to a lovely person.
