LOL. IC, you're a nut ! Before I get to what we're having here at work for dinner, I want to say "thank you IC \:\) " Thank you for giving a warm new meaning to chemo today and yes I'm going to expose your softer side to these folks....it was beautiful \:\)

We were sitting in the reception room waiting for IC's time to get his treatment and this young woman came in with her little girl (we later find out she's 5 yrs old} The little girl was there for her first chemo treatment and was screaming and crying and basically scared to death. Her mother couldn't do anything with her...it was really sad and added even more to an already somber atmosphere in the room.

I'm not sure what IC did, but he got the little girl's attention and he immediately struck up a curious interest from her. It wasn't long before his little conversations with the girl had not only her laughing, but had her mother, and the rest of us in the reception room pretty much in tears...most from laughter and some from seeing this grown man with his own fears and trials..connecting with this little girl and trying to ease her fears.

After a little IC persuasion, all four of us ended up going into the room for IC and this girl to get their treatments. No more crying from the little girl as her new "silly friend" was there with her. Her and her mom both gave us big hugs before we all left. Come to find out, she is a single mom that lives fairly close to us...we exchanged numbers and her and her girl are coming out early next week for dinner with the IC's \:\) I'm sure our kids and this little girl will hit it off right away...I can't wait

IC, just when I think I know all the cards you're holding...you come up with a wild card that makes me fall in love with you all over again...thank you !

I'll be home soon, but here is the dinner request that you wanted from us all...Kind of ho-hum, but we ordered pizza..had to fight off my co-workers, but I got an extra bite or two for ya.
