WTF just happend to me?

to cut a very long story short
befoer i explain my story so far this week i must say im NOT religious(used to be catholic but grew outta that)
ok now i have said that i`ll begin
im i a ralationship
i have a 2 and a half year old son
all was good untill sunday nite
my son fell over and broke his arm (ouch) not a little bump but broke Both bones in his arm completley
went to Accident and Emergency as soon as it hapend
we were kept in after numerous Xray exams etc
they settled him down
(now this is whats cookin my noodle) we ended up on a chilldrens ward
there was a small muslimboy in the bed aside my son very cheerfull boy
his father visited and as soon as he saw me,my gf and my son(who was very upset) came over and offerd a drink of water(i know big deal huh?) meant a lot to me
after that he pulled out his mobile phone and put a cartoon on for my son (son was screaming the place down)
my son instantly chilled out (as kids do)
this complete stranger just kept offering to help
he did everything he could and more to make sure me,my son and my gf were relaxed and happy
im no way a religious man but as my sons been Discharged today i have the feeling deep down inside that i must contact this man and thank him for his kindness and wish him the best for is son and family
whats really done me in this i rang the ward earlier to convey this message to him and his family and they have vanished

there is no muslim boy with his family in tow whos been there this weekend so now im sat here wondering wtf have i just gone thru
he was a real man as my gf and me saw him but he has left me questioning quite a bit about my life and my beliefs

am i over tired?
am i over thinkin?
did i meet a blessed man?
this has made me question how i live my life and im confused
the hospital swear there was just me/my son/my gf and 1 other white kid on the ward all weekend
i know i wasnt dillusional nor was i tripping
wtf happend and did i see my guardian angel?
sorry im just looking for a answer as logic is failing me

ooh ooh lemme solve this mystery, you asked for a "muslim" under the limited knowledge that all brown skinned people of arab descent are "muslim" , that's why they didn't know who it was, try asking for the family of dark skinned people instead

riiiiiight, the plot thickens, so this "asian" "muslim" you speak of.... can we have a description of this man, was he reading the Quran while turning the pages with chopsticks? Sounds like this thread should be in the Short Stories section bro

yeah the staff are not to bright, simple
the man has left because his boy is better




by the way when people do nice things, its because there nice people they are not always looking for a pat on the back
next time just repay the favour, by helping someone else.
im sure he would be happy with that













btw im the muslim

Kind of reminds me of the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child"

Just because you're that kid's parent doesn't mean you'll automatically know what is good for him. The more people participate in rearing that kid, the more likely his need will be met.

Wow weeee... that is a tough one. Can we have "encounters" that are so real to us? Well yah... has happened to me before. Not even close to your beneficial experience but nevertheless as real to me as a real person can be. Thing is do you think it was real?

And your answer has to be, yes it was. Flesh and blood or ethereal it has to be an example of how to behave towards others, right? That is what matters in the long run.

So what sticks, the encounter or the lesson?

Thanks for sharing.

This is a great story. Thank you for sharing it.

It's hard to choose what to say about this other than that it proves, in a way, that the mystery of life is the mystery of life.

It isn't in the mystery of the vanishing Man and his Son. It is that this will continue to unfold in you as the days go on. That's a real mystery. You are left wondering about Love and Kindness, how it manifests and how you can spread more of it.

That's why it is a great story, I suppose.

nobody is trolling, but nobody is believing your made up story either, i'm not saying i don't believe in asian muslims, but when you make it sound as if a person didn't exist because you can't understand that patient confidentiality keeps a persons name and personal info private from the public, i'm forced to think that you'll believe anything if you can't comprehend it

It sounds to me like someone at the hospital was confused. Perhaps the man and his son left before that person came on duty. Do you have a local paper that prints editorials or for instance in my area we have a free paper that you can submit stuff to like in the Speak Out section or we have a Good Neighbors section. You could write a thank you and post it in there. I've seen people do that several times. I think it's nice that you want to thank him and let him know that his kindness made a difference to your family.

sounds to me like your average, muslim phobic american who meets one in real life then is like o well there normal people after all, scenario.

you are over thinking this. take it for what it is. An encounter with a kind stranger and his son. What surprises me is that you find this so unusual. A cheerful boy with a kind and caring father who empathizes with you and your son's plight. Would'nt you do the same thing if the opportunity arouse?
Your gut reaction may be the real lesson here.
Be the kind mysterious man and make a stranger in need feel like you and your son felt when it happened to you.
You will learn what this man and his son know already. True peace, love and the purpose of one's existence.
