I had seen her in the staff bus but never really paid attention. On this particular evening after work I sat in the staff bus all alone close to the front. I was considered senior as a management trainee, something above most of the workers and not in the elite management group. The bus stopped at the travel goods division and another group of employees jumped aboard. She seemed a bit uncertain if she should sit next to me. I invited her to take a sit. I do not remember that we talked a lot at all. We stepped out of the staff bus and found ourselves walking together. I told her I was on my way to see my mother at the hospital. She was so kind and asked several questions about my mother. She was on high heels and stood at least two inches taller than me on the high-heeled shoes. Finally, we got to a point where we had to go our separate ways. I watched as she walked away and chuckled. She seemed a bit unsteady on the high heels. She kind of walked and rocked.

About the Book
Denis Nkala was a young management trainee, fresh out of graduate school and newly returned to his home country of Zimbabwe, when he met Fidelia aboard a staff bus on his way to the hospital to visit his mother. Her kindness and genuine concern for the plight of a stranger touched him, and their friendship blossomed quickly. Before long, her easy smile and air of dignity carved their way deep into his heart. When they joined their lives together in marriage, they had no idea of the difficult trials they would be called upon to face. Fidelia, with her husband always by her side, battled various cancers in an effort to live long enough to see their children grow. Now Denis writes to communicate the courage, love, and faith that she held throughout her struggle. This touching true story details the life of a wife and mother as she battles an aggressive, mutative cancer. Told from the perspective of her husband, who was her diligent caregiver throughout her twelve-year battle, this narrative encompasses the gravity and pain of a long fight with cancer as well as the suffering and dedication of those who supported the fight.
