I remember a long time ago a young girl having chemotherapy and she would come into the pub I worked in and literally get a laugh out of taking her hair off -much water has passed under the bridge since and I wish her more well than she will know, but I admired her pluck and do still... It is assumptions that are the problem, and I wish I had more guts, but then, just imagine if I had...
