There is nothing I can add to Laura’s post. These 2 Ladies Shemekia & Teria are absolutely wonderful, caring, & loving people. There is no way I can ever thank them enough for the kindness that they shown us today! If any of you are ever in Birmingham stop in at the Irondale restaurant, (Hamburger Heaven), good friendly staff and excellent food!

Again Shemekia & Teria We thank you!

This was Laura’s post

Tiras Glasgow and I met with surgeon today. Still no date set yet and a few more things to do beforehand due to the complexities of his orher medical conditions. We headed home and were feeling a little discouraged. I was hungry (neither of us had eaten anything today) so we stopped to eat. We were standing in line trying to decide what we wanted when the manager motioned for Tiras to come closer; my heart sank; I knew it was gonna be about bare feet; and sure enough I heard her say “Sir, I’m sorry but you cannot be in here barefoot; shoes are required.” She was polite and not rude or ugly though. Tiras replied as usual that he has a medical condition that prohibits him from wearing shoes and showed her the Dr statement. She thanked him and said No problem, you’re welcome to stay. She and the waitress then began asking questions and were intrigued that he still functions normally regardless of weather or surroundings. The manager commented stating what an awesome testimony that he still blessed God through all that. We finished our order and others were now in line and the waitress moved us down the counter a bit, then brought us our food. Tiras stepped back and said Ma’am, we didn’t pay. Tears filled her eyes and she said No Sir and you’re not going to today. You’ve blessed me and I’m gonna do the same, we never know what shape we may get in. Guess who else now had tears. All I can say is my God is good. Thank you Teria and Shemekia at Hamburger Heaven! We were blessed today.

Nothing like kind people to warm your heart. It sounds like your doctors have to be extra cautious because of your lupus. I am sorry you have to make that long trip. But it is important for you to be at an academic center like you are going to in Birmingham where they can care for you. Take care of yourself. K

Yes, I know it is. But know that where you are being treated has a great reputation for cancer care in the U.S. We have a lot of problems here but also a lot of strengths. Glad you are able to access the best of American healthcare. 😘

Thank you! Yes the surgeon I am seeing is in the top 5 best in robotic surgery (actually I think he is #3?) in the U.S. so I am blessed to have him as my doctor and surgeon!😊♥️

Tiras, I am sure you blessed their day just as you often do ours here on the forum 🥰. I’m glad Shemekia and Teria we’re open to be vessels of care and heaven sent loveliness for you on your difficult journey. May God bless them richly as they go forward. I hope you have time to see them again in your travels and can mutually bless one another 😇.
