The Look of Death !
W. Peter Sanci
Well hi again my dear, dear friends. I have a rather sad, sad tale to tell you tonight.
I went to the hospital to see an old friend this afternoon, when I walked into his room I didn’t even recognize him he looked like such a fright.
He had lost so much weight, not that he was a big man to start off with.
They had shaved his head bald, and he was asleep, he didn’t even know I was there, he was breathing so hard, I almost cried. There was no mirth.
My dear, dear friends, it is so sad to see, someone who you know to be in such a sorry state.
And it’s really sad for his family and friends, all they can do is to pray and wait.
So I hope that when you are in a hospital the next time,
You go in someone’s room just to say hi, and to watch
that person smile at you , is enough reward, as like when a
churchbell chimes.
