What overwhelming support, it feels good, friends!
I had a weird experience on Sunday. As my mom is a pastor, she invited me and the kids for the service and ice cream afterwards, so we went.
After the service, some old woman came to me and took my hand and smiled and said "you must be Pekka?". I said yes. She said, and I kid you not, "You are a living answer to our prayers!" adn she kept shaking my hand as if I had liberated a country from oppressors. She kept saying how they knew about my situation and kept praying and how happy she was I was still here and she just would not let me hand go! But the smile she had was genuine and with only true and good intentions.
It was kind of moving. A total stranger to me. Had never met her in my life. Clearly this was a big deal to her and that she had took some pain in thinking about my ordeal and done the thing she knows best to try to help.
So even though it did not show, I was moved. It was one of the nicest things I've ever experienced
