Angels in disquise

just this morning i was sitting outside my motel waiting for my Rad drivers to pick me up. I had on my pink cap with my bc survivor pin on it. A lady smiled and said hello, walked away and then came back to me. She asked if I had BC and i said yes. She said she had survived lung cancer and 2 surgeries for 3 years. She had been dx'd in 1995. She would like to tell me something..so she sat and took my hands and began this story.

She said she had dyed. Her husband had found her, took her to the ER and they brought her back, she was on a respirator and in a coma for 2 weeks. She needed a lung transplant. She also had a very rare blood type and would not be a good candidate for a match.

As days and weeks went by she became sicker and began to give up, crying to God to just take her home. The night she did this..a man came to visit her a big african american minister she described as looking like Shak. He prayed with her and she said she felt an overpowering love and seems to her he was telling her it would all be alright. He asked her if he could sing for her and she said it was "mesmerizing" and so beautiful. When he left her room she felt a peace come over her..and her husband walked in he (her husband) had been crying and praying and not knowing what to do. She asked him if he had saw the man who just walked out. He said no. She said that he had just left. He opened the door and looked up and down the hall. No man..she said you couldn't have missed him he was so tall and looked just like Shak. He still said no.

Well, she believed this was her angel. The minute after, her phone rang..they had found a match. She went through the surgeries with flying colors and now 3 years late is doing wonderful and telling this story to all she knows with cancer. I told her maybe she was my angel...she said maybe.

The van driver was late and apologized to me but I told him if he had been on time i would never have got to her this amazing story. Whatcha think? I think angels come in all shapes and sizes when we least expect them..to comfort and cheer us.
Love,
