When it was time for Mary Glasure to undergo her first chemotherapy treatment, she was in need of some uplifting.
Glasure, 59, is a mom of seven, and one of her sons, Corey Hoffmaster, a U.S. Marine hadn’t been home in almost two years. As soon as he was able to come home on leave, Hoffmaster decided to surprise his mom in the most incredible way.
Glasure was on a visit to Tony Teramana Cancer Center in Steunbenville, Ohio, when what appeared to be a new “doctor,” entered the room. Glasure, looked displeased, but politely saying, “ok.” Moments later, the “doctor” removed his surgical mask, and Glasure was quickly brought to tears when she realized that it was her son.
“I needed my spirits boosted,” Glasure told TODAY.com. “It was once-in-a-lifetime thing for me. I never in a million years thought he would be coming back.”
The heartwarming surprise took place on March 16, and was captured on video by one of her sons, Cody Glasure. The family credited Glasure’s three daughters for coming up with the idea, and Hoffmaster was pretty excited about it.
“The past few times he came home on leave, he didn’t surprise her, so he was really excited to do a surprise this time,” Cody Glasure told TODAY.com.
Mary Glasure later admitted, “It was kind of funny because I thought it was another doctor and I was about to wig out. I was like, ‘What do they want now?'” Glazer’s cancer has spread to her spine and left lung, and she was waiting until Corey was on leave to tell him about her diagnosis.
“I needed him home because he’s my strength. Being in the Marines, he’s the matter-of-fact, you’ve-got-to-do-this type.”
