Last year, I learned from a newspaper that some sick kids needed help.I phoned the newspaper and I was asked to help a little girl named Lisa, who had mental illness.
A short time later, I went for a visit to Lisa. After having been at the mental hospital hospital for years, she had recently been allowed to be at home. In the beginning, I did most of the talking. Lisa, however, was too quiet and introverted, shyly sitting in the corner of the sofa and listening. She was careful not to allw our eyes to meet. Over time, Lisa felt more comfortable little by little while I was present. Our weekly get-togethers usually meant sharing a cup of hot coffee , window shopping or taking slow walks in the country.
Lisa never disscussed how she felt about our fringdship, even after we completed our first year together. However, she knew she could always depend on me.
Then one day I got a call from our volunteer group. "Mary would you and Lisa like to be interviewed on a local Tv news show?" Excited, I answered,"Wow! Let me discuss it with Lisa." I didn't think Lisa would be comfortable going on "live" television. But to my surprise, Lisa wanted to be interviewed,too.
At the interview, she said,"If I can help other people understand how important our friendship is ,and how it has helped me, maybe they'll volunteer, too. Mary, wouldn't that be great?" With tears running down, we smiled at one another.
From then on, Lisa never missed a chance to plant seeds about the volunteer group with others. Her face lit up whenever she talked about our special friendship.
