Despite the fact that coworker Ben and I left early in the morning for Sheba Hospital to be with Nihal and her mother due to Nihal’s catheterization, we got stuck in the dense traffic and missed the opportunity.
When we finally arrived, we sat down in the waitingroom at floor 8 in and it didn’t take long before her mother joined us.
It was easy to see that Nihal’s mum was both tired and worried about her beloved daughter. She greeted me with a hug and showed with her hands that she was going to pray, and Ben and I joined her. It was a holy moment where three parents from three different nations were joined together in prayer for a young lady that needed intervention from God.
We sat together with Nihal’s mother in her worries, waiting for her daughter to come back from the operating room. There was no other place I would have preferred to be at that moment, and I hugged her when the doctor had brought her the good news she had waited for, and it made me so happy to see the relief in her face.
