Reply #18: As an atheist

[JNelson6563]

I think it's beautiful. Of course I was raised Catholic so I may be a bit biased in spite of my atheism.

My friend has recently gone through incredible difficulties with a hip replacement. She's a nominal believer but goes to this little, very liberal church occassionally. They came to the hospital and gave her a "prayer shawl" one of the ladies had made for her. Very soft! Had a little note with it, something about love in every stitch. I thought it was really nice and I know it really touched my friend that they did that.

People try to help others with kindnesses and they do what they know. You are offering comfort to your patients with what you can and I for one think it's wonderful. I could not bring myself to be offended by such a gesture as I'd see it simply as a kindness.

Bravo to you for caring enough to try! :toast: :hug:
