MOTHER'S INSOMNIA

July 27, 1993 (a journal extract)

Last night mum was in some deal of pain and when I went to bed I asked God sincerely, to grant her a very restful sleep. (She has many ailments and spends many restless nights). Just a couple of minutes ago she walked up the corridor and said, without being asked, that she had slept well [strange because this was so rare]. I knew straight away that God had answered my prayer. Funnily enough, I hadn't really expected an answer.
