Angels and other accidents

It has been a strange and wonderful few days. I will start with the angels that seem to be appearing in my life. A woman joined my book club last month. This is what I knew: her daughter is a year older than my son and her husband passed away in the last few months. I had seen her over the years, but she is not someone I knew or had ever spoken to. A mutual friend called to let her know what had been going on, so she would not be blindsided. She hung around after book club and told me a bit of her story. The doctor my Mom had been referred to was her husbands doctor. She gave me the number to his nurse to try to expedite that appointment. She assured me he was not only brilliant, but kind and compassionate also-in all she was incredible reassuring that this was the right path. I called Mom the next day to see if she had heard from the office, but since she had only called the afternoon before, she was not expecting a call yet. I called and left the nurse a message (promising her I was not a lunatic or pest) but that I would appreciate any help moving things along. I have no idea if she was involved with what transpired next. My Mom called an hour later and had an appointment in 2 hours.He was everything Randi said and things are moving forward. I know she is in the right place and will receive the very best treatment. When Randi came to me and offered her support and assistance, I was overwhelmed by her generosity. How could she, after the last year in her life, be so kind and loving to someone else? She said-I have been asking about this book club for years, and it finally worked out now. Now I know why I am here. There are no accidents. This morning is hard. I know that the next week brings the real diagnosis and the treatment of the disease. I am trying to be brave, but feel frightened and sad. I will have to count on the angels among us to lift me and my family up right now.
