A Sickness that Saved Him
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I sat with an older lady, Wilhelmina, in her nineties and her son, Charles. Wilhelmina had a cancer in her upper back around her spine. She was awake and alert, but the quiet type. Her son was the talkative type!
Charles was in his late sixties or maybe even seventy. He had a big belly, white shirt and black pants and wearing sandals. I think that he might have had bad feet. He had gray thin hair and a big smile and a healthy fixation of the old family farm!
His father was was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. He went to Fort Sill, Oklahoma in the artillery. At San Francisco, California, just before they were to be shipped off on a boat to Korea, he had gotten sick. It was contagious, so he stayed behind and was reassigned to the first surface to surface missile program.
After four years of service, and missing the war altogether, he was discharged. His wife, the patient, came from a Czech family in the Shiner, Texas area. He is also from the same area and also from the Shiner area. They were married before the war and his enlistment.
Wilhelmina followed him in the Army and they lived a wonderful life together in Houston. Her husband had skin cancer several times until the last time when it took him. Now many years later she has a cancer that will soon take her. They will soon be together again!
Do you know someone in the Army? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
