The other night I watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy. I think I mentioned it in my last entry. Anyway, I was bawling half-way through the show. In this episode (you probably shouldn't read this if you haven't seen it yet, I don't want to ruin it for you), there was a patience who's face was disfigured. It was probably from an accident or something but half of his face was sort of cut off (Sorry for the lack of better words). For years, he corresponded with some people through the internet who had become his friends. When they heard he was going to go through surgery for something, they decided to come visit him and to give him support. Mind you, these people had no idea what he looked like but they flew from different areas to come see him. When they came, he panicked and yelled for them to leave. I felt really bad for his friends because they flew in to see him...these friends who have never seen him in real life. It was an old African American woman, a middle-aged Caucasian man and woman.
Dr. Sloan, the surgeon who was going to operate on him, told him that he cannot have the surgery on his own. He needs his friends there for support and something else i can't remember. He said that he didn't want them to see the horror on his face. He didn't want to scare them away because they were his only friends. But, after the talk he was willing to see his friends again.
His friends came back. They came in to see him before his surgery and saw his face. The old woman went up to him, held his hand and kissed his cheek. This was when I started bawling. The unconditional love that these three people had for this one person that they've never met, and have only chatted with online, is so powerful. This episode sent such a great message to my heart. It made me realize that i also have friends who love me unconditionally.
I don't really know why but I noticed that I've been writing a lot about unconditional love. I guess it's something that has been on my mind a lot lately. It's also funny that I decided to go to mass again today at 6:30pm. Father Ben's homily was about unconditional love too. It's everywhere! He talked about the movie Kiterunner. I wanna see it now. =]
If anyone wants to join me, let me know and I'll get the movie. Yay movie with friends! How awesome would that be? Not as awesome as God but it's pretty darn awesome.
Okay, I think my eyes are getting a lil tired so that may be a call for me to go to bed.
So good night world! and don't forget to pray!
