The Kindness of Keeping Someone Company

"Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter."
~ Izaak Walton

I heard from someone today that a mutual friend's daughter had had surgery recently.  This woman also shared that she had kept the friend company for the six hours that her daughter was in surgery.  Waiting while a loved one -- especially a child -- is in surgery is one of the most nerve-wracking things that we can face, and to have someone stay with us can be incredibly comforting.
