Shelia, we didn't leave.


Hear what's happening now...


At 8:17 a tornado hit my area but not directly around my house. It caused all 
power in my area to black out. Then within 28 minutes it suddenly turned back 
on and everyone in my community has power restored. Got to hand to Florida 
power and light...


Since the tornado is just beginning and later on Sunday morning the hurricane 
should be upon us. However the "good news" is that it had turned to the North 
West and the West coast of Florida should get the brunt of it around such as 
Ft. Meyers and Northward.. After it's finished with Florida it will head 
directly to Atlanta Georgia and North. 


Now that doesn't necessary mean that we are out of the woods because this 
Hurricane is the size of Texas and it will probably engulf both the West and 
East coasts of the Sunshine State but as i mentioned the center is located on 
the West coast, and that should be sometime early Sunday morning.


Lets hope for the best. So far we still have power but it will probably go out 
again sometime this morning. I will try to keep everyone notified if I can.


Please be safe everyone.

Joyce, Jeanie and everyone here,
 
I learned something a very long time ago. If you or someone else looks out of a 
window then it is what they see that can make a big difference in their lives. 
I wrote this story a very long time ago and i always remembered it. It wasn't 
necessarily what this person would see but it was something that was explained 
to make "someone" happy for what they were able to "see"
 
Now over the years that followed i have seen this plagiarized and it really 
hurt me, but i assure you that i am it's original author. There are many 
details in it that i personally went through.  
 
                                              The Window  
There were two men in the cancer ward of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. 
They were in Ward KCC-6 North, which was at that time the cancer ward at that 
hospital. Both of these men were suffering from the end stages of Leukemia. 
They were there basically to die. One of these men had his bed right next to 
the only window in the room. The other one was across the room and had no 
access to the window. The man by the window would always tell the other man how 
beautiful it was looking out of that window, and let him know what was 
happening outside. He would talk about the beautiful skies, and how all of the 
little children were playing in Central Park. He would tell about the green 
grass and the people who were having a picnic, and the dogs that were running 
around, as well as the ice cream truck with the man selling ice cream pops to 
the little children, and the hot dog vendor also selling hot dogs with mustard 
and sour kraut. He would tell the other man that he would be able tosee all of 
this for himself once he was healed. This went on for about two weeks, and one 
morning the nurse came into the room as she usually did, and presented these 
two men with their sponge baths. She first went over to the man who was by the 
window to find that he had passed away in his sleep. She then covered him up 
and left the room for a couple of minutes. When she returned, there was a 
doctor with her. This was a fairly new young doctor who would pronounce the man 
dead, and at that particular time, 8:40 a.m. even though he had obviously 
passed away some time during the night. The other man across the room with 
tears running down his cheeks became quite depressed at seeing his roommate 
wheeled out of the room, declared dead. He thought about how this man would 
always try to make him happy with him describing all of the nice things he was 
able to see outside. Later on that day the nurse returned and made up the bed 
in the room that was now unoccupied. The man in the other bedasked if by any 
chance he would be able to be put by the window. The nurse was a very kind and 
compassionate woman besides being a very competent nurse, and she wheeled him 
over. Although this man was unable to prop himself up to see the outside 
because he had recently had his Spleen surgically removed, he tried but finding 
it was just impossible. The next day came, and he again tried and although he 
was in a great deal of pain he managed to very slowly prop himself up and peer 
out of that most appealing window. He was absolutely shocked at what he was 
able to see, or to put it another way, what he was unable to see. There was 
nothing there but a brick wall! He wondered why that man would always tell him 
about what a beautiful world it was out there when in fact there was nothing 
but that brick wall. At about that time the nurse came in with his sponge bath. 
He immediately without any reservation asked her why the man would always tell 
him about what was happening outside when in facthe wasn't able to see 
anything. The nurse then told him that he was correct. The man who had been by 
that window was in fact not able to see anything because he was blind.
 
 The man then realized that the other man was trying to make him feel good, and 
try to become well once again. And, as it turned out that other man did in fact 
return to health but not until he was able to receive a Bone Marrow Transplant. 
There was a donor found, his sister, and although he had to live in a plastic 
bubble for many months without having a window in it he would also be able to 
see all of those wonderful things that this world has to offer. In effect the 
man who passed away prepared the other man so that he would be able to tolerate 
something that no one could ever imagine happening to anyone. I know all about 
this story because I was that other man, and without this blind mans’ help I 
would have never been able to really “see” what the other man saw, even though 
he was totally blind. I gladly wrote this story to be able to make others 
understand that there is hope even though you cannot see any hope. There is 
something to be learned by all of this, and that isto never give up hope. Most 
of us are blind to this fact, and we can only see what we want to see. 
Sometimes it takes someone that can really see what is out there even though he 
is blind.  Or was he?
 
Authors note:
I wrote this story on May 21, 1990, which I consider my second birth date, 
because that was exactly one year after my Bone Marrow Transplant. My actual 
birth date was on May 21, 1944. It is my wish that whoever reads this will take 
comfort in the fact that there is a beautiful world out there, and they must 
have hope in order to really be able to ”see” it.
