Just before the holiday season, Kellie Kendall received the heartbreaking news. She was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma that had already spread to her lungs.
The Wisconsin mom likened her illness to a black cloud that has been hanging over her head ever since.
Making matters even more stressful is the fact her son, Donald, is in the Army. His deployments are always difficult, but his last deployment was particularly rough in light of Kellie’s health.
On the morning of January 3, 2020, Kellie was taking Donald to the airport to see him off when she decided to stop at McDonald’s to buy him some last-minute breakfast.
It was her way of stallings their inevitable goodbye before Donald’s deployment. She didn’t know if it’d be the last time they saw each other.
Kellie pulled up to the drive-thru window but as she tried to pay for their food, she learned another customer had been watching them from the car up ahead.
That’s when Kellie’s faith in humanity was restored, if only for that brief breakfast.
