Disciple of Prayer
I have a Dear Friend who I got to know over the years on FB... is in need of prayers... And is 70 yrs old.... though the spirit of much younger & has no family who cares about her, even though she has two married daughters who live in the same State as she does... unfortunately, ### is an amputee, though her driving leg is not affected, just the other one which she uses a prosthetic to get around.... And drives everywhere ### does when she is able: church, store, etc.... Though last year she had a bout of breast cancer & diagnosed with a little lung cancer also... chemo she did receive & a mastectomy, the second one over the years ..... And now wrote me a letter last month that she is getting cataract surgery on May 16.... There are times church ladies help her & hope this time she gets transportation back from her cataract surgery. She just can't afford to pay for long-term help and had to leave a nursing assistance living facility because way too pricey & maybe was there for no more than 6 mos or so... And had to now rent an apartment.... I cannot be of help to her except to write letters to her & am off of FB now... Though I do pray for ###... And hope who reads this will also... I live States away & am plagued with a very bad back & other medical woes & my hubby also... So, can't visit with her at present... Though ### has been an inspiration to me & has many problems that she has conquered I believe, even so very difficult one..... Like losing her Dear Pet, a Yorkshire terrier around Easter..... She said he was part of her family... And is still taking chemo drugs & too, is in dire need of hearing aids & can't even phone her to talk some as she is also practically deaf...... Just wish her grown daughters would try to visit with her... They don't seem to care about her & know Mother's Day will be a difficult Sunday for her yet again like Holidays without any Family even her own siblings don't appreciate her & have disassociated themselves from her... She truly doesn't deserve to be treated in such a manner as this..... And doesn't even know her grandchildren. And her belief in the Almighty is her Strength, though she needs our prayers... I do think Possibly a miracle for at least her daughters to realize a mother they once loved shouldn't be treated as such... Being their avoidance of her has been going on for so many years.
