Thanks for your kind words. When I called my mom with the news last week, she
told me as she always does, "God will give you no more than you can handle." I
told her she best tell Him, He is getting awful close!! I guess everything
happens for a reason, but I have yet to figure this one out. What reason is
there for people to be sick and in pain?? I know I'm supposed to be happy for
everything I have had in my life, but right now, I don't feel that happy. Today
is the first time I could even talk about my husband's illness without crying. I
guess that is progress. Now the fight begins. But reading all these other
emails makes me know that I am not alone, and CAN get through this.
Lots of love and prayers to you, your dad and family.
