Very touching !

Dear Friends,


And a tear rolled down from my eyes..........after reading following fwd email fm one of my friend, I guess this must be the privillage to one's life to be with someone when they need them most. I always feel that God has made us with some reason and we dont know this so whenever you get chance to help someone just give your hand. Believe me it will give you so much peace u may never able to feel tat way even through meditation or prayers...............just be a support to someone!


Have nice day


love,

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.


"Your son is here," she said to the old man.


She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.


Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed


Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached outhis hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.


The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All through the night


the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward,holding the old man's hand and offering


him words of love and strength.Occasionally , the nurse suggested that the Marine move away


and rest awhile.


He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of


the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night


staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.


Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held


tightly to his son all through the night.


Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had


been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.


Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.


"Who was that man?" he asked. The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.


"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."


"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"


"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his


son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too sick


to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."


The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.


 


WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS GOING THROUGH A


TEMPORARY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.


WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY


HUMAN EXPERIENCE. (love this line)


 


THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PUT ON THIS EARTH TO DO ANYWAY. RIGHT ?


HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BLESS SOMEONE ELSE IN SOME LITTLE WAY TODAY!
