You may have a read a bit of my journey over the last few years and know I am continually working with a number of issues with my immune system, hormonal imbalances and mental health.
In the early days I would drag myself across to the local shopping center. I would make myself be around people and I would just sit and observe, and the following is what happened one day...
I was sitting in one of my favorite eating places - I call it the 'green lounge office'. I was feeling sorry for myself and hating my world when I looked up and there is this girl being pushed in a pram, she is about 8 years old, bald and very pale.
I immediately felt you poor love, what a shit experience you are going through... and without thinking I winked at her. She stared at me her face remaining totally expressionless. The man pushing the pram kept walking past and I noticed a childhood cancer bag hanging from the back of the pram, I whispered "good luck gorgeous girl"...
About 10 minutes later I had almost finished my coffee and about to get up and go when around the corner this same girl came again...
This time with a Double Decker Wendy's Ice-cream smothered in hundreds and thousands and she was licking the ice-cream like she had been craving it for weeks! As she went past me this time she looked at me and gave me a wink!
Yep, I cried...
My pain not so obvious - her's very, however a small connection created a silent ripple effect of understanding and a moment of joy...
