Apropos of my last post, God works in often mysterious ways... i once had a very special friend... it seemed like it should have been an impossible friendship. She was British and travelled the world over. i was a Filipina anchored in a busy pediatric practice in Manila. Yet one day our paths crossed and never again diverted from each other. We had nothing in common truly yet we shared 15 years of laughter, joys, good times, and life lessons learned from each other. We truly loved one another as only close dear friends can. When she became ill, I acted as her part-time caregiver in the hospital. One day she looked at me with bright soulful eyes full of gratitude and said, Lita,how did we become friends? i knew what she meant - ordinarily it should have been impossible. i answered her God brought us together because He knew you would be sick some day and He didnt want you to be alone The tears welled up in her eyes but she gave me her beautiful bright smile. A few days before her death she asked to be baptized in the Catholic cHURCH and made her First Communion. Soon after, she died with me holding her hand and praying over her. I have never gotten over her loss. I loved my friend so much but i knew she was with God in Heaven making the angels laugh as she had done with me in her lifetime. I miss her still. Her name was Margot Fonteyn.
