So very sad

Yesterday I decided to stop by a store that I’ve been wanting to go to for a long time. I don’t know why I never stopped there before; just never seemed to find the time. But yesterday I was driving past and I knew I had a few minutes to spare so I decided to pull in. There was an elderly woman sitting at a picnic bench right outside the front door, folding T-shirts. I decided to just sit down beside her and chat. I don’t know why, I just did!

So we sat there chatting, her folding her T-shirts, me just enjoying the nice weather and the conversation. The talk turned to family, and the passings of loved ones. Seems she lost her hubby about three years ago to cancer. He had been sick for months and ran up huge hospital bills. She’s convinced that if they had been able to afford health insurance to help with his fight against cancer, he would still be alive today. That is such a very sad story. Certainly one that makes me wish that this country took better care of the health needs of its citizens.
