God has blessed me...

I stated this before in a previous entry, but I find that tonight it is proven. This year has been amazing. I will miss it when December 31st comes, but I welcome the new year with open arms.

I read an E-mail that made my entire day.

Earlier this week I received a text from my 7th grade teacher telling me she forwarded my contact information to someone doing PR at the hospital close to my home. I figured I would hear from them sometime this week. I thought, "Monday, once they get to the office"... that didn't happen. "Too caught up, maybe Tuesday?" After Tuesday I was bombarded with work and planning for this weekend's group discussions that I forgot about hearing from them.
Today as I was driving home from work, I noticed my phone blinking (you know how it is, fellow Blackberry owners: it blinks, you respond ^_^). I noticed it was an E-mail. I read the first paragraph, smiled. Once I read the second, I cried. My Passaic Facebook Fan Page was brought to his attention by an active member. I was thrilled.

In between the tears of joy, I smiled, repeatedly. The cars at the stop light probably thought I was insane or maybe on something.---They were right, I was high on life... and continue to be.

There I stood observing...

I watched him in a room. I saw him while looking into the small window of a room. The walls were patted. His body just laid there. He looked content as he slept on the mattress. I could tell because he had a slight grin. He must've been dreaming.

I looked to my hand and there was a key. The man had a key, too, in his right hand. I wondered if it was the same key I held in mine. I continued to watch him smile.

Slowly he started to wake up. The smile faded; he got up and went to the corner. I started to feel bad and opened the door. Once inside, he looked up at me, embraced me close. I asked if he held the key to the door. He nodded. I asked why he didn't let himself out. He sighed, "The world outside can be a lot like this one." He was partially right. However, I was determined to show him a better world than he knew... I was going to show him everything he was missing.

I was going to give him the world many promised and show him how he's worth that and more.

From a friend to a friend, I cannot stand to see you hurt ...anymore.
