I
always wondered who the anonymous cancer survivor was in a picture
taken of me and LDS President Thomas S. Monson at the Huntsman Cancer
Hospital groundbreaking on Oct. 31, 2008.
Well,
earlier this month, after attending my own checkup at the Huntsman
Cancer Institute, I found that unknown cancer survivor hanging out at
the Huntsman gift shop.
\"I know you. ... Where do I know you from?\"
\"I don't know,\" she said dumbfounded.
\"You look so familiar...\"
\"You do, too.\"
\"Oh,
I know, I know ... you were the one I was photographed with at the
Huntsman's Cancer Hospital's groundbreaking with President Monson!\"
\"Yeah, yeah, that's right,\" she said, smiling.
Her
name's Linda May Hill, a single mother of seven children with her first
grandbaby on the way, but she's anything but anonymous or unknown.
We
hugged tightly. It was as though I'd found a long-lost kindred sister,
and in essence I had. Once a breast cancer survivor sister always one.
Whether you've known each other or not.
Come to find out, since our picture was taken that Halloween day, Hill's been anything but nameless.
This
month she's on the cover of Wasatch Women's magazine as Wasatch's Women
of the Year, has appeared on \"The Glenn Beck Show,\" National Public
Radio, KUTV/Ch. 2, and on K-Bull 93 F.M., raising money for cancer
