22 Chemo Ukraine

During chemo treatments at the clinic, I really enjoy talking to other chemo patients.  Time passes more quickly then, and frankly, I am a nosy kind of woman.  😏 I want to hear what brought them there.   Not everyone wants to talk however.  Totally understandable.  One such person was a lady of about 40 years, not much older than my son.  Other than chitchatting with her attending nurse, she just wanted to sleep.  But sitting in the chair next to me I could not help to overhear some of the chitchat.  This lady looked pale and frail but her face just beamed when she talked about her children.  They were obviously her pride and joy!  Turned out that exactly one year ago, in February 2021, she and her husband, spent some time in Ukraine, adopted 3 beautiful Ukrainian siblings from an orphanage and brought them home to Saskatchewan.  What an awesome thing to do!  Not one, or two, but three, and all siblings.  Wow!  I often wonder what it would be like to undergo cancer treatments when you are young, need to make a living and have young children to care for.  I don't have to worry about all that.  I count myself blessed that way.  I know that some of you pray for my wellbeing and I thank you for it.  Please send a little prayer in the direction of this brave lady and also for the Ukrainian people in general. Thank you very much!!!💗  Who knew what would happen one year later?

Upcoming:  a post on colonoscopies mid next week and possibly a small post tomorrow.  Till then.  Take care!
