LN, I know that we cannot understand the injustices that befall us. If only we could!!! But you obviously have been touched by the miracle of life, and it has left its mark on you. I will hold you and your wife and your family close in my heart as you face this difficult time together.

Remember, there is very little that love and prayers can't heal. I saw a woman on TV the other day who had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer when she was in her 20s, and had survived 4 years, against all odds and predictions. She was asked if she was ever angry, and she gave the most courageous answer I have ever heard: Life is too beautiful to waste it being bitter.

Please remember those very wise words in these difficult days that are ahead for you. Gabriel is watching and loving you both. Hold onto that.
