The a little over a weak passed, and Phil decided to talk a walk and somehow ended up at the local church… it was after that Sunday's church service, but the doors were unlocked to allow people to come in and pray if they feel the need to do so.
Phil wasn't sure what brought him there, but he figured he would pray while he was there. He stayed for several minutes… nearly an hour and when he started out and nearly ran into a man who was just walking in.
"Hi" Phil said
"Hi, I can't say I've seen you around"
"I was taking a walk and ended up here"
"There must be a reason behind you're little walk… is there something going on that you need to talk about?" the guy, Ryan Mitchell, asked .
"Yeah, my best friend… she's bad sick, her kidneys are failing… and if they don't find a tissue match for her soon she'll die"
"Are we sure she's just you're friend… if you don't mind my asking" he said
Ryan and Phil took a seat on the very back pew to talk.
"Not at all, I guess I really do care about her… I do love her" Phil confessed. "Wait a second I'm sitting here telling you my feelings about my best friend and I don't even know who you are…" Phil said
"True… sorry, I'm Ryan Mitchell"
"I'm Phil Diffy, it's good to meet you… what brings you here?"
"Me? I'm here visiting my younger sister… she's getting married soon" Ryan said
"I don't know about your sister, but mine is a royal pain…" Phil said
"Come on, she couldn't be that bad"
"Believe me, you haven't met my sister, Pim… she is almost at the point of evil"
Ryan chuckled and shook his head.
"Tell you're sister congratulations for me" Phil said
Ryan had looked over his shoulder
"You can tell her yourself… there she is" Ryan said
"Hey Ryan" Dana said
"Phil, this is my sister, Dana… Dana, this is Phil Diffy"
"Hi, Phil"
"Hi, Dana… I heard you're getting married, congratulations"
"Thanks…" Dana smiled, but she then noticed that he seemed rather sad… "What's wrong, Phil?"
"My best friend is really bad sick right now, and I'm worried about her" Phil replied
"Ryan, I came to tell you that Dad and Carter need some help"
"Okay Dana" Ryan said, then turned to Phil "I guess I'll see you around Phil… hope everything goes well with your friend"
"Me too, thanks Ryan" Phil said as Ryan left
"Tell me what's going on, maybe I have some advice for you and your friend… I am a doctor" Dana said as she sat on the pew where her brother had been
"Well, Dana, my friend, Keely, her kidneys have begun to fail, and she's pretty bad sick right now"
"Oh, no… there isn't much I can say for that" Dana sighed "is she on the donor list?"
"Yes, but she has a rare blood type… her mom is terrified that they won't find a tissue match for her daughter in time"
"She is on dialysis, isn't she?"
"Yes, ma'am"
Dana smiled weakly… "That should by some more time for searching for her match"
"Okay… I just noticed someone else I know…" Phil said as he noticed Kimberly "She's Keely's creative writing teacher… I believe Keely said her name was Ms. Hart."
"Yeah, her first name is Kimberly… I know her… and her high school sweetheart, Tommy Oliver… I heard from her that she was wanting to get in touch with him again, but it seems she can't find him"
"Would he happen to have a Ph.D. in Paleontology?"
"Yes, why?"
"He's my science teacher" Phil said before his new cell phone rang… it was his mom
"Pardon me, Dana… that's my mom"
Phil stepped out of the room to take his call.
"Hi mom" Phil answered his phone
"Phil, we've got the test results back" Barb said
