In 1934 my parents were introduced to Christian Science due to an unusual medical condition confronting my older sister. At the age of three years old she lost her sight and several physicians said they could not help her.
One day when she was playing, she slipped and fell, cutting her forehead. My mother picked her up and ran to the apartment next door for help. The woman who lived there was a Christian Scientist. She very lovingly helped take care of the wound and comforted my mother, easing her fears and asking if she would be interested in having Christian Science treatment for her daughter. Relieved by the thought that my sister could have some help, she agreed to call a Christian Science practitioner, not realizing this meant relying on metaphysical healing. The very next morning, my parents woke up hearing my sister calling to them. She could see!
This was the beginning of a lifelong relationship my family had and continues to have with Christian Science.
