I've heard that angels sometimes pose as humans. I think I took care of one the past two days.
The patient was a Mexican man in his 40s. He had had a MVA 9 years ago and damaged his spine at the C-3 and had only limited movement of his hands. He spoke very little English. I suspect that he and and maybe his entire family might be angels, quietly living their humble lives as an example for humanity.
His wife came both days to sit at his side and perform all personal care for him quietly, without fanfare. She spoke only a few words of English. Her parents came for a visit, and also the patient's daughter who brought the grandson.
They sat quietly, needing very little, demanding nothing. She, at one point, requested a bedpan and some lubricant, obviously to perform his bowel program.
Everytime I entered the room I got chills up my spine, I really think I was in the presence of something holy. After the wife left the second day, I talked with the man. I told him that he had a wonderful wife. He told that he thanked God everyday for his good fortune. He exemplified true happiness, he was the most radiant person I've ever encountered.
