I Wanted To Give Up

I wanted to give up but Dr. Jean would not let me. I had never met the woman. She called me out of the sky. I was rude, not wanting to keep going. She was persistent, and wanted to know what had gone wrong. She made a two hour drive to find out, and paid for my lunch. I was determined not to go back. I was so hurt, and so ready to give up. I fell in love with her integrity and her honesty, and her determination to help me fix things. She did not even know me! This is the kind of thing I did for others, not the other way around. I was shocked into going back, by this fifty-five year old, unassuming, pleasant, petite, Iowa woman. She got me through it. It took a year. I would have never done it without her. I wanted to give up because I had been so hurt. She helped me see past the hurt, and I had to give myself another chance, thanks to this woman's determination, optimism, and two hour drive to help someone she had never met. I will be forever grateful.
