I had a colleague come up to me today and apologize. She was embarrassed that for 93 days she had not acknowledged what I was going through. She was so afraid of what to say, and how to say it, that she just avoided me for 3 months.
And then, she burst into tears.
This confessional came as a total surprise, I am not actually keeping a tally or anything. Plus to be honest I thought she had already reached out to me.
So I told her she was brave, which she was. Then she went on to tell me how afraid she has always been of cancer. And there I stood, all of her fears realized.
Then someone else came up to me today and just gave me a hug, and told me I was their hero.
It was just one of those days.
