She wouldn't let me go and find the woman--I guess it was a good thing as I would have told her off and made such a scene! Maybe if my DD would have had a turban like this in a "young" pattern she would not have had to endure such insensitivity.
By the way, she is now 32 and has been cancer free for over 10 years--praise the Lord!!
So very happy for your DD and for you that she is a survivor. I'm sorry she had to endure the cruel remarks of insensitive people, but I'm sure it made her a stronger, more compassionate person.
