      I think some people are uncomfortable with stories like this, because each of us is susceptible to the vicissitudes of mortality. So they react negatively. Feel compassion for their weakness. It's one we all share to one degree or other.

    Thank you for this! I had a stroke at 24 due to a blood disorder and also went through something similar at the hospital with the staff. To this day the things I cant do that I used to, still bother me and it intermittently causes severe depression. My depression has been worse recently and this popped up. I don't think I've felt this at peace in a long time. So again, thank you!

    My wife and I went through some similar experiences. One Sunday afternoon, when I came home after a long day of Church meetings, some angelic neighbors were washing my wife's hair in the kitchen sink. She had recently gone through surgery to remove cancer and wanted her hair washed badly. It had been several days. These wonderful women laid her gently on the counter top and helped her feel "beautiful" (I put this in quotes because, although she is always beautiful to me, she wasn't feeling this way at all) again. I will forever be grateful for the angelic women who came and helped my beautiful wife.

    I have a sister with autism and learning disabilities. She’s always been this way. I was taught to be kind to others but having a sister like her helped me take a further step and be an advocate for others. It’s interesting that Jesus is called our advocate before the Father. We are all imperfect, whether inside or out. But whether they be seen or unseen such as my sisters disabilities, they make us human and we each have the opportunity to help each other out and be Gods helping hands. My sisters been bullied and scorned, rejected and neglected but her Christlike example of never judging or holding grudges or being mean back to those who’ve hurt us teaches our family that we can be better and we’re blessed for having her in our lives just as you’ve blessed many with your story. Thank you.

But it has been standing out to me for the past year+ as I've been reading the scriptures. I love that you shared this! His promise that He will be our advocate with the Father is one of the most beautiful phrases in scripture. It has always filled me with such peace, now it fills me with a call to action. I love that you feel that call too. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank You for the beautiful reminder that it is the small acts of service that change the world in great ways! Lucas probably didn't know how much he was doing to heal your Spirit when he began to wash your hair; just like the CNA with the cold shower did not realize how her actions affected you. We all have challenges and trials; some are more visible than others. But if we all treated each other as gently and tenderly as Lucas treated you; how much different our world would be! Every small act makes a difference. How many of us have been touched by seemingly small, simple, kind acts that remind us that somewhere, someone cares about us? You are truly beautiful inside and out!! Thank you for your courage and faith and for sharing your difficult journey with the world!

    This is such a touching story. Beautiful in a way I would not have thought possible. This has moved me and made me realise how petty and small my own problems are compared to the sufferings of other people and the trails they have to endure. I don't think I will ever again complain to the Lord about my situation (Well ... that's not going to happen but it will be a lot less). I thank Jodi for being such a strong, such an incredible person. I thank you for your story. You will be in my prayers tonight!

    I worked with a boy for his entire high school program who had cerebral palsy and extremely high muscle tone. He was mute and entirely dependant on my help. It used to amaze me how many people would fire a question at me that he could capably answer if you took the time to talk to him. They saw only the disability not the intelligent person that he is. I pray for those who live in ignorance of the feelings and intellect of others, although you who have disabilities that are visible need our help, they have a far greater disability that they need help from you and the Lord to teach them to overcome.

    I, too, cannot understand how anyone could dislike this simple, courageous and powerful personal experience. WE are more than just bodies that talk and walk and we must treat each other with MUCH greater care and respect, no matter our looks, race, nationality, beliefs and even health status. Whenever one our children was born and a person asked whether it was a boy or a girl, we often got the response, "Well, most importantly it`s healthy!" And we would think and even sometimes say, "And what if it weren`t healthy?"
    Health and living a life void of challenges is not what life is about to me - it is about growing, learning and developing our characters, to see beyond the body or status and see the divine, eternal spirit in each human we encounter.

    This woman's words were inspired and powerful. She teaches us how to show charity by simply giving others the benefit of the doubt. I am not happy she had to go through what she did, but how can you see her standing tall, beautiful, and confident without seeing the Lord's hand? God is good:) Thank you for choosing to fight.

    I have hearing loss, and for all of my life, I have had people look down on me because I have a disability, and that I would not amount to much. I believe it for a long time, and it took me a lot of hurdles to overcome it. During the journey, I have had people come in my life that overlooked my disability and gave me hope that I can be someone I want to be.
