很多人都期待能听到那“三个字——我爱你。我在康妮住进病房的那天见到了她,我在那儿当义工。…… Most people need to hear those "three little words"- I love you. Once in a while, they hear them just in time. I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward, where I worked as a volunteer. Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful. We got her settled in. I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything. |
