Our crosses in pockets are small but can make a difference to others. A lady, who had been visiting her sick mother for some time chose one and sat down to wait until visiting time.
A gentleman I had spoken to on previous visits joined me. He told me he had not had good news and his wife was now in palliative care. I gave him my carefully chosen little cross. She took a second cross on my way up to the ward to visit her mother only to discover she had been transferred to a community hospital. Her neighbour on the ward was a little upset as they had been good friends. I gave her the second carefully chosen little cross, which she really appreciated.
On my way out of the hospital, a bit distressed myself because mum’s transfer was rather sudden I took a third little cross from the stall, . I have it here with me now – until I meet someone who needs it more than I do!
Please tell whoever supplies these little crosses that they are much appreciated little tokens and are a great connection with spiritual and human comfort. Thank you so much!”
