My mother was born almost blind, able to distinguish only light and color. Christian Science healed her when she was in her early teens. Although as a child I thought this wonderful, I wouldn't accept Christian Science, and even tried to explain her healing materially. My mother wisely never tried to force her religion on me, but simply continued to practice it and to show her love for God.

Finally, after the end of a short and unhappy marriage, I started to study Science and Health and became a member of The Mother Church.

My own healings have been many. A few years ago I fell while walking, and lost consciousness. When I revived, the police and paramedics were there. I asked to be helped to my feet so I could return home, but couldn't stand. They told me I had a broken hip, and placed me in a brace to transport me to the hospital. The police took pictures of me because my face and body appeared so badly bruised.
