I had a similar moment when, shortly after my treatments ended, the wife of a business customer (whom I had never met before) stepped forward and gave me a big hug. Because I was in their office, on business, it caught me completely off guard, but was a huge moment of shared compassion at a time when I really needed it.
Oh crap now my eyes are welling up.....
Thanks
