Then I Saw Her -2
I looked away and tried to shake her. I can't really describe what I felt in her presence. In
fact, if it was a feeling I was experiencing, it felt great . But there she was anyway…smiling

him.
It did not seem to surprise him a bit. I told him I had to go home. All this while I was
overwhelmed with an unmistakable feeling or knowledge that this nun was going to be with
