I had a mastectomy on Monday so have been in hospital for 5 days. On Tuesday my nurse brought in a carrier bag and said there are some gifts in there for you fro HER Breast Friends (Hull & East Riding Breast friends) they are a charity who make goodie bags for ladies with breast cancer. In the bag there was a pillow, a dammit doll, a gift bag and a folder with lots of support information and a Free voucher for 3 complementary therapies.
Now those that know me know it doesn't take much to make me blub but this made me blub happy tears, to think a group of people had thought about ladies like me and put something together to make a difference. I just wanted to share them with you all.
Welcome back , glad you’re home and on the mend. Love the bag of goodies, such a great gift from people who understand. HFxx

I will admit reading your post about the throughtful gifts you were given set me off with 'wet eyes' - like you happy tears that others 'get it' - to think how these kind people have walked these steps and from there continued with a wonderful idea to making such beautful and caring gifts. So very kind and caring!!!!
That poor little Dammit Doll, what did she do wrong..... hmmmm a question so many of us have asked ourselves.
Thinking of you and sending love and gentle hugs xxx
