I glanced outside into our courtyard this afternoon and saw a gift bag with a pink balloon attached. Seems a neighbor had attended a breast cancer walk and brought home the "goodie bag" for me!! It contained lots of little samples of skin products, a pink ribbon pin and tee shirt and several discount coupons for restaurants!!! The enclosed note said he did the walk in memory of his mother who died of breast cancer and in hope of my recovery. How wonderful was that?
