I have hesitated in posting this. I will not mention names, but I cannot resist posting what happened! Someone I did not know read my post on this thread. They thought about what I had said and other things I had posted and then determined to contact me and convince me that they were not crazy! lol I got an email offering to help me afford my new teeth. I refused for a number of reasons, but she just kept coming back and trying to prove that there was no motive, just a simple desire to help me. I was stunned, didn't know what to say or do and that doesn't happen too often. What was right, honorable, acceptable to me and did I actually want to even consider it? Between this Angel, a talk with two people I respect around here and my daughter, I realized it wasn't just me that this concerned. My daughter was fearful of my health being worse because of my teeth and she was correct. The family was afraid I would get an infection I couldn't handle and have a heart attack or stroke. My Angel was as well. My daughter had watched me go from very active and out in the world working my causes and just playing in life, to a woman who stays at home most the time taking care of other people. I'd lost my smile that everyone knew me for. I was still smiling inside and still trying to share laughter and joy, it was just more home based. I'd be invited to things I refused to go to because I didn't want to be seen and wouldn't meet people who wanted to meet me. I didn't work any cause anymore because I didn't want to be seen in the media that could be a part of it all. This Angel kept pushing and for a submissive person to push a total stranger, you know she believed in what she was doing. I had learned long ago from a mentor in the ministry that we shouldn't rob people of the joy of being a blessing. I investigated and dug and wanted to know my Angel's situation to be assured that it was okay for her to do this and wouldn't hurt her. She assured me with facts and by the end of her and my daughter's convincing; I was convinced. I have been very blessed and all this Angel wants for it all is a picture of me with my new teeth! I got the money yesterday and the appointments will be made this coming week. Thank you to my Angel! You have changed my life!
