A Calling
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:23 am
I have been having a calling of sorts lately--like I must spring into action before it is too late.
It's not for myself, though... This lady I know... Well... She's suffering. She & I share a similar illness. (We had problems with our brains at some point. She had a malignant tumor & I had seizures.)
When my dad went away for his cancer treatment & I was home alone, she would call to see how I was doing.
She is a strange lady. At times, she can seem cold, but she just has her ways--like most people do. She is up there in age but still young. She is widowed & her daughter does not live on island. She is alone in the house, much like I was part of last year & about half of 2008.
I have been thinking of a way to try to reach her. She is a great lady, but she can be finicky & get offended quite easily. The way she is going she will die. From since I last saw her, she is probably emaciated looking by now. No one knows what to do to help her.
Every one would like to help her, but we know how she is. There are some people being mean to her as well. However, this lady I know & adore has not been very kind to people around here, especially in her younger years.
I do not believe she is a bad person; you just have to know how to deal with her. She can be remarkably kind. I have seen it 1sthand, but I do know she can be a bit mean...
From having been through my own trials, I am about 90 to 95 % sure she is depressed & her current state is a serious cry for help. It's a cry for help & then it isn't. You know that sort of way....?
The best idea I could come up with is a Valentine's day present... I think I will try, even if she gets upset. She really does not have a good relationship with her daughter because the lady was mean to her.
It looks a lot like the relationship I have with my own mother. I think I will try in the hopes that this thing I attempt to do helps us both. We may very well both improve!
