Too much things happened on Friday it's crazy.
OKay. i was going to school on the subway to get some books and on Sheppard-Yonge, i took two sets of photo-booth pictures-$8. (i needed them for completion of college registration). so i put the photos in my bag and went down and took the train south.
On Bloor-Yonge, there was something wrong going on.
A crowd was surrounding an old lady and she was down on the platform floor and there was a lot of blood in front of her. As i was watching and wondering what will happen next, i heard a guy saying "Does she speak Chinese?" and then a moment after that, there was a shout "Does anyone speak Korean in here?"
Not even stoping to think, i yelled "I DO!" and moved quick towards that lady who was panting and trickling blood down the side of her mouth. People told me to ask questions for her and i translated he words back to them. I also had to be really calm - at least on the out side - so that the lady won't trigger the lady to fear. She kept saying things like "if i die now.. my children are so young to loose me.. i'm sSOo scared.. i cannot.. see.. my head... my chest... hurts.. "
i didn't think she'd just die there- since she was saying things like that.. but same time 'what if?' and then i was praying 'wow. God. what are you going to do next?'
There were these two other people who were helping out (both complete strangers) and they both had things to do soon and they left, but the lady wanted me to go with her to the hospital because.. well i
think she wanted me to hear her last words if she were to die just then.
She turned out to be a Christian and asked me to pray for her and i think she was praying too. She didn't want me to leave so i promised that i'll be with her until her children comes to the hospital(she wanted me to stay until her family came). On the way to the ambulance, and to the hospital, i translated things:
52 year old, how she went to the doctor day before and the doctor told her to go back home becuase it's a symptom of nervousness, how she So had to go to a doctor today but on her way that this happened, and everything else.
The ambulance was so cool.
that sound thing and everything.
I told the lady little things that will hopefully distract her from thinking about her condition.. And i were to remind her to open her eyes so she won't faint or get into coma or something.
In the emergency room, after she got quite calm and peaceful, she asked me my name and i told her. i liked how she called me "yonsooyah.", because it's an affectionate way of calling people in korea. (i haven't been hearing it for.. quite a while). She shared about her life, struggling to make lots of money doing anything and everything she could, and she told me not to do so because it's not really worth it. She also said that it was a miracle that this happened because she met me and because her sister came from Korea that morning. (The sister needed something drastic becuase she's considering to comvert to Christianity).
After she got better (as in not in shock or thinkinf of death) she thanked me and we shook hands. I left around 3:30.
I never got to see her family but i called her sister and i had to tell the sister what had happened and had to send a message that the lady's husband (who's in korea) should be reached to come to Canada.
wow.. i have her number, too.
i can't wait to see her well.
oh yeah, sometime while we were talking i said "That's not faith." but it made me think of what is faith all over. hah it's already written!
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
