Prayers from a Complete Stranger

February 17, 2006

While taking the first set of radiation treatments, you get to know people who have appts about the same time as you do.  It becomes like a “little family” in an odd way.  During my rough nauseous days, I was focused on “dodging smells” more than anything.  So I was not real observant on my worst days.  About a week after going on Zofran, I was approached by a little white haired lady while waiting for my radiation treatment appt.  She sat down next to me & said, “Honey, how are you doing today?”  I said, “I am ok.”  (even though I felt pretty bad)  She said, “I could see you were having a real hard time & I have been praying for you the last week.  And I just wanted to make sure you were ok.”  I was speechless & didn’t know what to say.  Eventually, I did tell her THANK YOU.  But it just goes to show you never know who’s watching & looking out for you in their own way.  I get goose bumps when I think of this encounter.
