What a wonderful place a waiting room can be. I am saying this in all honesty. As I sat there in the waiting room 6 feet apart from everyone, I watched!
An Elderly man Sitting in a wheelchair coughing up a storm. Swearing up and down he doesn't have Covid. A middle ages woman letting him know that it's okay. "Cold are still around" she says!
An Elderly lady looks at a painting on the wall and turns to the younger lady and elderly man and they all start talking about it!
A baby and a mom stroll in. The Baby has a breathing tube, but that wasn't what I noticed first. What I noticed first was Her big Beautiful Blue eyes and a great big smile. We all awed and oohed at her. Asking her mom her name and how old she was.
We were all in this room. 6 Feet apart but TOGETHER. Waiting for the same thing. Hoping for the same thing and wishing for the same things.
In that moment, I didn't feel alone. I felt surrounded by family. As each persons name got called to go in, we waved and said Good luck.
I found Peace and hope sitting in that waiting room. I didn't know any of those people but I hope to never forget them!
