So tonight.....
How do I describe it? Besides Hooked...........
Tonight was exactly what I envisioned our first event to be.
Emotions are pouring out of me tonight, drunk....on booze and this euphoric high.
You know tonight, I meet the first person to humble me.
I'm self induced at times, I recognize this... It's one of my many flaws.
But I meet a woman tonight, that truly made me feel blessed for my situation.
I am just getting off the microphone after telling Rozak and everyone at Gin Mill a sub par chemo description and a thank you, I'm walking towards the bathroom area to meet a member of the Charlotte Artist Alliance and I think I hear someone say "Hi Steve"
I turn around and look, dumbfounded I think I know this woman, turns out I don't and I introduce myself.
I realize the woman on her left is wearing a satchel and looked nervous as shit.
All she says to me is, I can relate to you.
I look her in the eyes and see her pain........it sucked to see her like this. A stranger I've never meet before.
We talked for a few minuets, and I admittedly told her "you are the first patient I have ever talked to"
I've meet people before or after treatment, but never someone going through it...... It was a wake up call.
When she told me she came from Tennessee for this event I really felt blank inside.
How the fuck do I tell my story, and say it was horrible. When this woman just went what I went through..... but did it for 18 months!!
She humbled me.... but she also made me more adamant for this organization to some damn good in this world!
~ This post is much better than what I have drafted up.
Jamaica Mon!
