Odelia’s Deeper Purpose

GenXer Shamrocker ☘️

  Odelia is just finishing her rounds. Getting her daily report completed; she’s yet to sit down. There’s a message at the desk which tells her to call Obadiah. While she’s finishing up she decides to make some time. Usually she puts a hold on calls until the next day. Something tells her this needs immediate attention right away. “Hello is this Obadiah?” “This is Odelia the nurse you called.” “Odelia; thank you for getting back to me so quickly.” “Do you have time to talk?” Odelia says “yes”. “What’s going on?” “Well Odelia, this is about my mom.” “Our family will be losing her. Her health is fading fast.” “I received your name from Dr. Glen; he’s informed me that if anyone can care for her; it’s you.” “He says you’re the best.” Odelia worked for Dr. Glen before he moved away.” “He’s always had nothing but good things to say.” “He’s always trained her and he was immediately impressed.” “She picked up quickly on the hardest of tasks.” “Sure why don’t you and I make a time to meet?” “Odelia; it would be a pleasure.” “Are you from around here?” “Are you up the street?” “Odelia is a city girl and Obadiah is from a small town. How exactly will this all work out?
