Hello Me

Things not easily forgotten

dumbfounded and sad

I came to know, quite by accident that a women I know and care about was hospitalized.
I wanted to send wishes for a speedy recovery, wanted to find out that all is well.
But I did not have a direct means to send my well wishes, so I send them to a 3rd party who has direct contact with the patient.
But this 3rd party's reply was surprising and gruff. All she replied was "who told you?" and nothing more. I never found out how the women was doing, and I never was assured my well-wishes would be passed on.
Afterwards I heard that others who had nothing to do with how I came to know tthat this women had been hospitalized, had been approached in a very angry manner by this 3rd party, and were very unjustly accused that I knew.
For the rest of the week I just had to hope that all was well with this person I cared about.
But I do not understand the thinking of this 3rd party. I do not understand why it was more important to her how it was that I knew, I do not understand the reason or purpose for such a gruff reply to me, nor her unjustified anger towards others?

A kind and caring reaction from her to me would have been one that expressed gratitude for caring. A kind heart would have replied and assured me that my welly-wishes would be passed on.

It is dumbfounding that we live in a world where we can not even express genuine concern for someone we care about.
My well-wishes were most likely not passed on and that is just so incredibly sad not only for the patient, but for the state of the heart and soul of that 3rd party who was with her silence so unkind and inconsiderate of my concern.

People, People please be kind to each other!
