The Power of Prayer...

I need some this way. Not for me.

It's for somebody I barely know and have been at a personal war with for a while even since she moved into a neighbor's apartment. She, her children and "others" from that has has caused distress to many of us on the 13th floor of our building for a long time. Lets just say, there is no love here and even little respect for or from them. Much of it stems from the mother and works its way to the rest of the family.

Today at about I guess around 10PM or so the police comes knocking on my door asking many questions about who lives with me, who has been in my apartment, where was I and they search my place, looking at the windows. They looked at me, and ask if I know a heavy set woman.

At around 9:30PM or so, I heard a heavy thud hit my window sill. It always seems to happen, idiots throwing trash from the roof and so on. But this time I had to check it out but could not see nothing in the dark area below. Across the courtyard is the community center where the rear is all glass. And one can see what is going on inside, and they can see out from in there. Nothing unusual, nothing out of the ordinary, no crowd gathering. So I dismissed it. Minutes before I heard yelling and screaming, from a couple arguing. Its the mother of the aforementioned family above. Then silence. Then something hitting my window sill.

Who ever she was, something happened. The police was saying that she jumped out from one of my apartment's window. But they looked at the windows, and they are all locked - they can only open 6 inches from the bottom and the top, if that. And they been locked since Hurricane Sandy. The one window that is open, has my air conditioner in it. Then somebody identified her as living on the other side of the building. she landed on my side of the building, things were not adding up.

The cops who checked out my place, were adamant about I did something, claiming that the roof is locked, but then other cops came from the stairs and said they found the roof door open. That makes it that she could have been on the roof. But why did she jumped? She may have not jumped.

My other neighbor came up from downstairs, clearing me from the situation. Then her relatives came in, asking about where the children? Then a guy who I never saw before comes and demands to see his children. Never seen this guy at all, but his voice sounded like the same voice I heard arguing on the roof. I let the cops know this. He was acting very odd. Very very odd. I was a crisis intervention councilor in my college years and I have seen it all, but I never saw this kind of behavior. And I never saw him before.

I'm not pointing fingers here. But back to the power of prayer.

Apparently, the mother survived the 15 story fall somehow. If she survived the trip to the hospital, there is a 50/50 chance she might make it. All I'm asking is prayers for her, and her children, for what ever god's will intends to happen, to give them the strength to continue. If she is to live, that is in the cards for her and I did not dealt the deck. As is, the children can be facing foster care if some relative does not pick them up. That's a messed up situation to live in.

So, in what ever higher power you believe in, or even if you believe in the power withing yourself, Pray, send good waves, send good vibes, what ever - for this person who was a crime victim and for her family who are just children. Alter the fields of probability in her favor to survive and recover. I don't know her name but she's Metropolitan Hospital Emergency Ward being treated. Pray to the powers that be for a second chance for her and her family. Tell them, "Fernando send you to plead for this person's life." They know who I am.

If you ask yourself "Why should I do this?" then I deem you as a problem and not a solution. Peace on earth starts with a helping hand, respect and understanding, then love. We must take baby steps to make this world better. Asking a higher power for help in making this so, is just a step in making this world a better place and that action begin all of you. So do not count yourself out as every little bit helps. And perhaps, we can get a miracle from this for them.

Lets see what happens in the next 24 to 96 hours. I will post an update on what happens, good or bad.
