“One stormy night I was going through one of the loneliness periods of my life. Lying there in bed, my sorrow and self-pity were so strong I couldn’t help but cry. I got up and moved to a window and I looked out into a dark rainy night. I stood there for a while crying, wishing for a different life than the one I was living. Finally, I knelt down and prayed to God with the strongest emotion. My prayer may have seemed selfish because every word was for myself. Not for the riches and other things someone might pray for— I asked that someone love me enough to need me.”
