I got a little package from Ruchie and it totally made my day yesterday. BIG PUBLIC THANK YOU to Ruchie for making a very hard day a lot better!!
My mom was in the hospital all day on Friday and I spent a good 9 hours with her getting her labs checked, holding her hand, etc. She had a cardiac crisis on Thursday after doing some yard work and I only found out Friday morning. It was very hard dealing with her because her reaction on Thursday was to write a note in pencil saying she loved us all and if she died it was because she'd had what she thought was a heart attack at 4:30pm. Only she would think to write a note instead of calling 911 OR her doctor OR one of her kids. I got really sad and frustrated when I found out, and I drove her to the emergency room asap when she told me the next day.
So dealing with my mom, the hospital culture, and all the sadness and frustration would have made me crushed as it is, except I'd been burning the candle at both ends for the week prior and was not feeling well myself that day. I opened the package and read Ruchie's kind note and almost cried at the pure, kind sentiment of friendship and love (and the timing)!
I hope everybody here will get a piece of what I felt yesterday from a friend!! And I hope everybody gets to know what a kind, good, unselfish, caring soul Ruchie is.
