Quiet Heroes

Wow - has this ever been a busy week! Christmas is coming and the time is running out. I doubt that people are even able to read this with the running that most are doing.

I am amazed at the heroes that I have met this week. One is Edith and the other is Rona. Two very amazing ladies.

Edith stands with Alex day after day. Alex is confused and struggling with his days and hours. Alex just lost his leg through an amputation. At times we have wondered if he would pull through. Some say that he is paliative. But day after day he is there waiting for the next hour to come. And Edith waits with him. This is a love that holds through the hours and times of tough things.

Rona comes to see her mom each day by riding a Peterborough Bus. Rain, Snow, Sun Shine or whatever she is offered - she still gets there to see her mom Kay. Kay is waiting too. There are days that we wondered if she would be there the next day. She wants so bad to go home to be with her husband and son. Home for Kay is Heaven. But everyday is slow and long with frequent naps to break the routine.

I have witnessed a love that is amazing - given freely without any hestitation. This love will carry them through another week together. It may be a hard Christmas for both of these dear sisters. We pray for them.

These are the quiet heroes. Thanks you for your examples.
