VisitorsYesterday I was visited by a couple of women from my neighborhood. They called up in advance and asked if they could come see me. We had a pleasant conversation and I enjoyed their company, but I was confused about the reason for their visit. I don't really know these two ladies very well, but they are nice enough.
We chatted about life, kids, and anything else that happened to come up. They asked me how my family was doing and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. All in all, they stayed about a half an hour. I walked away from the visit feeling good yet still stumped as to their true reason for coming by.
About an hour later, one of the ladies called me. She said that she enjoyed our visit, yet there was a reason behind it that she didn't feel comfortable bringing up. She had heard about my recent miscarriage and wanted to make sure I was alright. I was surprised that she even knew because I really hadn't told many people that I was pregnant, and thus few knew about the loss.
I thanked her for her concern and explained the details about what happened. She had been wanting to bring it up the entire time she was at my house, but didn't know if I would be comfortable talking about it with the other lady. I was surprised to think that she had been wanting to comfort me, yet afraid to bring up a taboo subject, when in actuality I am quite comfortable talking about it now that the pain has passed a bit. If she had called me a week ago, I would have broken down in tears, but now I am on the road to recovery. She told me that she had been praying for me and would continue to do so. What a kind and generous woman! She barely knows me and yet she is praying for my happiness?!
So what am I trying to talk about today? I was so happy to know that someone who heard about my heartache cared enough to come and see me, yet confused as to why she was afraid to ask me about it while she was here. I have always been a forward person who speaks exactly what is on my mind, yet I suppose I just don't understand what would create a taboo subject in someone else's mind. Perhaps it is just one of those things that I will forever strive to understand without fully grasping. Ahh well, life goes on as always. I was glad to just have a visitor.
