Greenie,
I am behind in emails so I just read this. I am very relieved to hear that you
and Grace are in Indiana. I am thinking of you....hope your home and car will
be in good shape when you return. Fingers crossed.
Sending love and prayers to you and to everyone else out there who is being or
might be directly affected by Irma...
Warmest regards, and 18's.

Joyce, Jeanie and everyone here,
I learned something a very long time ago. If you or someone else looks out of a
window then it is what they see that can make a big difference in their lives.
I wrote this story a very long time ago and i always remembered it. It wasn't
necessarily what this person would see but it was something that was explained
to make "someone" happy for what they were able to "see"
Now over the years that followed i have seen this plagiarized and it really
hurt me, but i assure you that i am it's original author. There are many
details in it that i personally went through.
The Window
There were two men in the cancer ward of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
They were in Ward KCC-6 North, which was at that time the cancer ward at that
hospital. Both of these men were suffering from the end stages of Leukemia.
They were there basically to die. One of these men had his bed right next to
the only window in the room. The other one was across the room and had no
access to the window. The man by the window would always tell the other man how
beautiful it was looking out of that window, and let him know what was
happening outside. He would talk about the beautiful skies, and how all of the
little children were playing in Central Park. He would tell about the green
grass and the people who were having a picnic, and the dogs that were running
around, as well as the ice cream truck with the man selling ice cream pops to
the little children, and the hot dog vendor also selling hot dogs with mustard
and sour kraut. He would tell the other man that he would be able to see all of
this for himself once he was healed. This went on for about two weeks, and one
morning the nurse came into the room as she usually did, and presented these
two men with their sponge baths. She first went over to the man who was by the
window to find that he had passed away in his sleep. She then covered him up
and left the room for a couple of minutes. When she returned, there was a
doctor with her. This was a fairly new young doctor who would pronounce the man
dead, and at that particular time, 8:40 a.m. even though he had obviously
passed away some time during the night. The other man across the room with
tears running down his cheeks became quite depressed at seeing his roommate
wheeled out of the room, declared dead. He thought about how this man would
always try to make him happy with him describing all of the nice things he was
able to see outside. Later on that day the nurse returned and made up the bed
in the room that was now unoccupied. The man in the other bed asked if by any
chance he would be able to be put by the window. The nurse was a very kind and
compassionate woman besides being a very competent nurse, and she wheeled him
over. Although this man was unable to prop himself up to see the outside
because he had recently had his Spleen surgically removed, he tried but finding
it was just impossible. The next day came, and he again tried and although he
was in a great deal of pain he managed to very slowly prop himself up and peer
out of that most appealing window. He was absolutely shocked at what he was
able to see, or to put it another way, what he was unable to see. There was
nothing there but a brick wall! He wondered why that man would always tell him
about what a beautiful world it was out there when in fact there was nothing
but that brick wall. At about that time the nurse came in with his sponge bath.
He immediately without any reservation asked her why the man would always tell
him about what was happening outside when in fact he wasn't able to see
anything. The nurse then told him that he was correct. The man who had been by
that window was in fact not able to see anything because he was blind.
The man then realized that the other man was trying to make him feel good, and
try to become well once again. And, as it turned out that other man did in fact
return to health but not until he was able to receive a Bone Marrow Transplant.
There was a donor found, his sister, and although he had to live in a plastic
bubble for many months without having a window in it he would also be able to
see all of those wonderful things that this world has to offer. In effect the
man who passed away prepared the other man so that he would be able to tolerate
something that no one could ever imagine happening to anyone. I know all about
this story because I was that other man, and without this blind mans’ help I
would have never been able to really “see” what the other man saw, even though
he was totally blind. I gladly wrote this story to be able to make others
understand that there is hope even though you cannot see any hope. There is
something to be learned by all of this, and that is to never give up hope. Most
of us are blind to this fact, and we can only see what we want to see.
Sometimes it takes someone that can really see what is out there even though he
is blind. Or was he?
Authors note:
I wrote this story on May 21, 1990, which I consider my second birth date,
because that was exactly one year after my Bone Marrow Transplant. My actual
birth date was on May 21, 1944. It is my wish that whoever reads this will take
comfort in the fact that there is a beautiful world out there, and they must
have hope in order to really be able to ”see” it.
