Story
I want to tell you a story.
There was a neighborhood that had a home that nobody seemed to know who lived in it. A person would say to another person, "Who lives in that house? I've never seen anybody or a car in the driveway. The yard always looks neat and groomed very nicely, but I've never seen anybody working in the yard." And the other person would say, "I don't know if anyone lives there. When the heck do they take care of the yard? At night when we're all asleep?" And all conversations about the home went about the same. Nobody knew if anyone lived in the house or not.
One day some kids were playing ball roughly in front of the "vacant" home and as fate would have it an errant ball was hit toward the house and it broke a front window. Well, those kids took off running down the street because they were sure someone would come out screaming at them about the broken window. As they got down about three houses they noticed nobody was coming after them. After gathering together they decided maybe nobody was at home. And that was the only ball they had. One boy said he would creep up to the broken window to see if he could reach in to get their ball. But he wanted all the other ball players to keep their eyes peeled for anybody coming out of the house and if somebody did come out, yell at him so he would be able to get away.
He started his slow walk up to the window and to his surprise nobody came out. As he looked in the broken window he saw a woman lying face down on the floor and not moving. This was a good bunch of kids. He called to one of his friends who, in this day and age, had a cell phone and told him to call the emergency number.
To make a long story short, the emergency people came and they took the woman to the hospital. After a few days the woman was fine but nobody could ever figure out how long she had been on the floor.
My question to you is would you like this woman to be your Mother?......or your sister?
