Barefoot Little Angel at the Hospital

Image
by Sharleen W.L. One morning in early summer when I was in elementary school I went to accompany mom to the hospital for treatment of her arthritis. I decided to go barefoot and she didn't object. The treatment was to be done in the outpatient clinic, and when we arrived the nurse was all ready for her. She asked mom how she was feeling. Barefoot angel on duty "Well, I was a little nervous because of the potential side effects, but now I'm ok since many people are praying for me," replied mom. "Oh, you'll be just fine! And it's great that people are praying for you!" said the nurse. Then unexpectedly mom said this: "besides...I've got my little angel here with me!" while pointing to me. You see, mom is pretty strict and can even be a bit mean at times. She scolded me a lot, and sometimes even punished me when I was a kid, but she actually loves me very much. "Oh, how wonderful that you have a little angel!" sai
