It's a Small World - Today I Met a Sister... SPARKLE

in Breast Cancer #1
Wednesdays I volunteer at Lynn Sage Breast Center - Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago. I escort women to the dressing room who come for diagnostic breast testing. I am always talking and during the course of conversation with Rhonda, I found out that she also is on this discussion board. Her name is Sparkle. I got so excited to finally meet a sister. I told her my name and she equally got excited as she knew me on this board. We were both jumping up and down and hugging one another. What a great day!!!!

Sparkle lives in Indiana.

Lots of Hugs,
Janelle

    How great that you got to
    How great that you got to meet a sister and how you met is so great. Think how if you had not had the conversation about this board you might never have known she was a sister here. I can see you jumping up and down in excitement. Such a nice surprise.

    It is a great feeling to meet a pink sister in person. It was just a few weeks ago that I got to have the joy of meeting one as well.

    Hugs,
