Missing Becky

Back in 2014, when my leg turned to the worse, I got to know yet another Becky!
This one, I think was trying to drum up business with her employer - a foot surgeon.

I never saw her for more than 15 minutes a Sunday, as she just kept in touch with where my foot was.
And I learned a lot from her.
Terms, meanings and what to expect.

As things went south for me. she was to become a friend.
Her encouragement in those morphine filled months, were a God send!

Months ago she had asked me what she should do.
She probably asked many.
I told her that caring for her ailing parents, was paramount in her life.
Yeah, we do not value old people in this culture.
But God gave them to us for a reason!
The concept of what a real blessing from God is, is not understood either.

So Sunday was her good-bye visit to church.
My condition does not allow for my having assisted in her move.
Nor will be able to probably ever see her again, but she was a good friend and I cherish friendship.
Having so few, as it is.

And her good-bye was surprisingly demonstrative.
Sure surprised the heck out of me!
Not complaining,  just surprised.
Sure surprised the whole gaggle of women standing around.
No one was quite so sure she even liked men!
Much less would touch one!

So, good she is on her way.
Her life will be very different.
And I hope she can find supportive friends in her new local!


But, she will be missed by me.
And I will continue praying for her protection.
