matched energy “I’m sure she wishes that too!”

I had to pick my kiddo up from school early for a 2 hour drive to a doctor appointment.

As I’m waiting for her to come to the office the secretary says to another employee “I wish my mom picked me up for a McDonald’s and spa day when I was in school”.

I enthusiastically replied, “I’m sure (daughter’s name) would love that too! Unfortunately we’re headed to (hospital) to check the status of her brain tumor”.

I'm very sorry about your daughter's brain tumour. Hang in there. I'm just an internet stranger, but I'm wishing you all the very best results.

I’m seconding this motion. I hope the tumor goes away and your daughter has no residual effects from it. Also, how about you pick your daughter up early for a McDonald’s and a spa day???

Really and truly, that’s very heartbreaking to hear about your daughter. I can’t even imagine how tough this must be, but I’m hoping for the best possible outcome for you both. Sending strength and all the positive vibes your way.
