chat. She asked Jenny where she had been, and Jenny began to tell her 
that she had a bad heart and was waiting for a donor. The doctor had 
told her a couple of weeks ago that her heart was not going to hold out 
much longer without a organ transplant. That is why Jenny had not been 
to the cafe or to work. She was just getting to weak anymore. 

Marge could not believe it, as her friend was so beautiful, and looked
so healthy. They talked for hours, it seemed, and then Jenny siad she 
had to go and rest. Her heart was so weak that she had hardly any 
strength anymore. 

Two days later, Marge got in a car accident. She was hurt very badly and
was rushed to the hospital. She was badly mangled by the truck that had 
smashed into her car. The doctor said she was not going to make it. He 
said the injuries were just too severe. Marge lay in the hospital bed 
and thought, so this is how it is going to end? Nothing has been 
accomplished with my life, and now i am going to die alone. She felt 
sorry for herself for a little while, and then she faced the fact that 
she ws going to die. It was time to make things right, while she still 
had time. 

She lay in that bed for days, barely hanging on to life, and she had
plenty of time to think. She missed her friend Jenny, and wondered if 
Jenny would miss her when she was gone. She was so sad and alone. he 
prayed she would just go ahead and die and get it over with. 

Meanwhile, her friend Jenny was asking about where Marge was. She had
been to the cafe and Marge was not there. The old cook finally told her 
about Marge and which hospital she was in. Jenny rushed out of the cafe 
and went to see her friend. Their reunion was sweet, and they had grown 
to care so much for each other in this short time. When Jenny saw her 
friend, she knew there was not much time left. Marge looked like the 
life was being pulled right out of her. She had tubes and wires all 
around her, and she looked so pale. 

Marge looked at her friend and said "I have been praying you would come
and see me". Then she told Jenny, I have something to tell you. Jenny 
told her, I came as soon as I heard, is there anything in this world I 
can do for you? Marge told her friend, No, but, I can do something for 
you, my friend. Jenny asked her, "what do you mean"? Something for me? 
It is you laid up here with such terrible injuries, and you want to do 
something for me? What a wonderful friend you are, but, there is 
nothing I need. 

Marge looked at Jenny and said, Yes, there is something that you need,
very much, and I am able and willing to give it to you. Jenny shook her 
head and said "what are you talking about Marge"? Marge looked at her 
friend and told her that since she was dying, that she wanted to donate 
her heart to Jenny. She said, she felt their two hearts were connected 
somehow since the first time they met. 

Jenny started crying and crying, and couldn't say anything for a moment.
Then she told her friend that was the nicest gift anyone could ever 
give, but she couldn't let her do that. Marge told Jenny she had 
already arranged with the doctor and the hospital that when she died 
that her heart was to go to her special friend Jenny. 

This was a special day for both of these women. They had met and ben
drawn to each other in life, and now through death they would still be 
connected. 

Marge died two days later, and her heart was transplanted into Jenny, as
Marge had planned. The transplant was a success. Jenny could not go to 
Marge's funeral, as she was recovering from her own operation, but as 
soon as she was well enough, she went to Marge's grave and stood alone 
and thought of her "most special friend". She put her hands over her 
new heart and said "thank you, my friend for being part of my heart". 

The day these two ladies met was not by accident. God sent them to each
other with a plan in mind. God knew exactly how this would turn out.
