Remembering A Friend For A Lifetime
By Mark Flippo
I have been blessed with good friends. Several years ago, I was in such great pain that I went to the hospital. Sadly, the doctor that did the surgery lacked in his decision-making abilities. I had a gallbladder full of stones and the knot head opened me up from my rib cage down to my crotch! He showed me a drawing before he started how he was going to proceed but threw it out at his convenience.
Anybody out there ever had an incompetent doctor? Anyway, I was in the hospital one and a half months. He stopped my digestive system and could not get it restarted. It is called an Ileus! I was not able to eat for that whole time. I lost about 50lbs. I guess, thank God I was overweight.
This brother from our congregation Terry Turman owned a business but took time almost every day to come up and sit with me and pray before he left. He was a great comfort to me in that horrible situation. Just knowing he was there helped me to finally get some restful sleep.
I have never forgotten his kindness. Even though we have since changed to a different congregation I remember him in my prayers. A good friend is very hard to find. Just want to Thank him again from the bottom of my heart! Thank you Terry for making such a profound impression on me that I still remember you with much Love, your friend Mark!
