This story reminds me that creepy Nicholas Cage movie, “Knowing”
Not only Slate, but the Guardian has picked up on this.
Of course the Guardian had to add this at the end of the article:
“But even if we decipher every word correctly, we will never know the answer to the largest question: when she sent these thanks and pleas to God, was anyone, was anything, there to listen?”
The Guardian writer also thought it extraordinary that a woman dying in pain would give such thanks to God:
“Much of it, extraordinarily for a woman dying in pain, seems to have been thanksgiving. The last four have been reconstructed as: “Thank you almighty God for protection from grief. Thank you almighty God for listening to my prayers and answering them. Thank you almighty God for everything, amen. Thank you almighty God for everything, amen, amen, amen.””
Wow!
