I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in mid-March. What quickly followed was a 9 1/2 hour surgery, a short recovery, and now I'm in the midst of chemo. It is a very difficult time. Today my mom opened the front door and a kind woman who would not identify herself handed her a gift for me. The gift was so thoughtful! It included a super-soft cardigan, some "happy face" slippers, cookies, flowers, and a plaque that says, "She is clothed with strength and dignity, She laughs without fear of the future." Also included were 12 separate notecards with personal messages, each signed "One Ordinary Woman." As I opened and read each card I cried and cried and cried. Several of them said, "you are not alone." I needed to hear that because right now I'm battling feeling alone. I would like to thank all of these 12 ordinary women who gave me this gift of love. You were the hands of feet of Jesus to me today. I will probably never know who you are, but I want you to know I am grateful for you and thank you for walking this hard road with me and for praying for me during this time. You are sweet. You are dear. What you have done for me means a lot. May God bless you greatly for loving a hurting sister in Christ
