Depression by Sharon C. Matthies
Price $15.00 >> 
Part 2 - Being There
Epiphany of Possibility
It was 4 a.m., dark, and I was alone in ICU. As I lay there in those
early morning hours, with bits of charcoal stuck in my teeth, and
tubes pumping lifesaving fluids into my body, an amazing wondrous
thing began to happen. Love. Washing over me, bathing me, baptizing
me in tangible warmth I had never felt before. I felt it, flowing
right through my blood, touching every cell, every thought, every
scrap of life beating within me. For the very first time in my life,
I actually knew without any doubt whatsoever that I was loved.
I had never felt that warmth of certainty before. People started
walking through my mind, one by one, looking right at me, smiling
at me…Mom, Dad, my brothers Dave, Rob and Gary, Kate, Father
Louis, Father Basil…an endless procession of people…and
for the first time ever, I knew to the core of my being that they
loved me, and always had. Why had I never seen it before? Why had
I never been able to believe it before? It was so clear to me now.
It was an incredible, life-altering epiphany of love and possibility.
