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, Carol 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 Carol 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 Carol... 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 Carol 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.
