Quote from Indy
Well, thanks for listening. Like I said, just a vent. I was so tired and her comment hit me just the wrong way, that it felt to me like I had wasted good teaching time on someone who wasn't listening at all. I feel a little better now.
I remember little if anything of what the nurses and doctors said to me when my Mom was dying. But I remember their kindness and their presence.
You wasted nothing. You were there for a person who desperately needed you. Trust me. She
was listening, to more than just your words.
