> A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
> "Your son is here," she said to the old man.
> She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes
> opened.
> Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw
> the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached
> out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old
> man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
> The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the
> bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly
> lightedward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love
> and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move
> away and rest awhile.
> He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was
> oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking
> of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging
> greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.
> Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said
> nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
> Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now
> lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she
> did what she had to do, he waited.
> Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the
> Marine interrupted her.
> "Who was that man?" he asked.
> The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
> "No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my
> life."
> "Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
> "I knew right away there had been a mistake,
> but I also knew he needed his son, and his
> son just wasn't here.
> When I realized that he was too sick to tell
> whether or not I was his son,
> knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."
> I came here tonight to
> find a Mr. William Grey.
> His Son was Killed in Iraq
> today, and I was sent to
> inform him. What was this
> Gentleman's Name?
> The Nurse with Tears in
> Her Eyes Answered,
> Mr. William Grey.............
>
The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.
