The cook abandoned the stove. My co-pastor left an important commitment to be with me. I saw worry and concern in the faces of those who were watching the scene unfold. Perhaps they were saying a silent prayer. I did not ask them if they were asking God to spare me or if they were warning St Peter to watch out for me at the pearly gates.
When Maria Rathebe called Dr N Ntuli, he was ready to leave his surgery to attend an emergency. Fearing that he might delay, I asked Fr Tlhalefang Ramoipone to drive me to the surgery. At the surgery I did not feel that I was dying. The physician and his staff gave 110% of their time and expertise. Fortunately there was nothing wrong with my vital organs. I laughed when Fr Ramoipone mentioned that the sickness was probably in my head. Subsequently I learnt from specialists that such symptoms are not uncommon for individuals undergoing emotional transitions.
My experience made me recall the pastoral visits to the sick and the bereaved the previous week. When I was sick there was someone at my side. My case was treated as an emergency. Caring people surrounded me. I can’t imagine the idea of suffering and dying alone..
