The Divorce Angel

 

Also from Dr. Susan Lecy, Lakeshore Chiropractic:

I had just gotten divorced and it was pretty bad. I was living in an area where I didn’t have any family or friends, but did have a lucrative practice and was comfortable in my own skin. However, I was very sad much of the time. One particularly stressful day, a woman came in, sat down in my waiting area and started telling me her story. It was dreadful. Among other things, she’d escaped an abusive husband, had no money, and was living in a women’s shelter. Her story was so horrific that by the time she left, I felt my situation was like a big joke! After all, I had good health and a good practice, and my finances were fine.

 

I must have treated her because I had notes and a record of that day. I tried to find her later on because she had helped me so much, but I couldn’t find her anywhere, and I looked everywhere. It was like she didn’t exist! I kept her paperwork and drew a picture of an angel on it, because I knew for sure she was an angel, just for me that day.
