Spanish Superstition II

During my retirement in Spain I was involved in a serious motor accident which left me badly incapacitated. Six months later, with hip and leg pain injury I was still obliged to use crutches and my golfing career had come to an abrupt end. One morning, sitting alone on my patio (my wife having gone to golf) I noticed an elderly couple calling house to house. My neighbours seemed to give them short shrift and eventually the couple approached me. With nothing particular to do I invited them in for coffee and a chat. They proved to be charming people and after relating their career experiences the conversation inevitably turned to religion. Despite my own disbelief we engaged in a lively discussion such that, taking his leave, the husband turned around and said "When I retire tonight I shall kneel at my bed and ask the Lord if he may relieve your burden". His wife then made a similar promise. On rising next morning, every pain in my body had gone. Where before I could scarcely stand unaided I now walked normally. My crutches were redundant. The next day I was playing golf. Twenty years on I am 79 and I have never again suffered hip or leg pain. I am left to agonise whether that devoted couple were responsible for my instantaneous and permanent recovery or whether it was an incredible coincidence. Or a miracle?
