Flower Power

I just wanted to let you know about a lovely act of kindness that happend on Saturday January 26th at the Victoria Hospital.

I was a clerk on one of the medical wards and on Saturday when a woman stepped off the elevators and approached my desk for information. She carried a bouquet of balloons and a package of flowers in her arms. She asked fora room number to visit a friend and when I told her she said thank youand handed me the package of flowers saying " theses are for you". I was in shockand she quickly moved off down the hall. I peaked into the package and found six pink long stem roses inside!

I at once thought of you and the random act of kindness on your station. Ialso thought of my best friends mother who is a palliative patient here and how she would love the smell of them. I went down the hall to the patients roomand told that lovely lady thank you so much for those beautiful flowersand that they were going to my friends ill mother on the other ward and how much she loved the smell of fresh flowers.

I hope she hears about this on the radio, because I still want to cry about how a stranger touched my heart and gave such joy to a another very ill person.
