She stood there alone, tears rolling down her round face, exposing her age lines, her sliver white hair, fluffed in a little ball. She wore an old t-shirt, faded black athletic shorts and shoes with no socks.
It was 2:30 in the morning and the old lady stood there, outside of intensive care unit hoping for a miracle. I wanted to comfort her and tell her it would be alright, but who the hell am I to say that? I have no idea what she is going through. Maybe it wouldn't be alright. Instead I said nothing and continued to deliver supplies.
I sure later some religious person will tell her God has a plan and God heals all, but where in the hell was God on that dark lonely night? Doctors tried in vain to make his heart beat again. The dying patient was her son.
That was depressing. Here's link to the new Simpsons Movie trailer.
About Me
- Dan Sonderman
- Just in case anyone was wondering whom this Dan Sonderman guy is, and chances are you're not but, I’m going to tell you anyway. By day I’m a mild mannered student majoring in journalism, by night I work a hospital supply room delivering supplies to medical people. I also free-lance for two publications. True, I'm not a super-hero (maybe just a hero), but being a 26 year-old college student with job isn't easy. In case anyone is wondering why I’m 26 and still in college, allow me to explain. When all the other little piggies went to college after high school, this piggy joined the Army. I joined the army because I wanted to blow stuff up without a court date or possibly a prison sentence. I currently attend Lindenwood University and am the managing editor of the student newspaper.
