After injuring my low back yesterday and being wracked in pain, I awoke today feeling physical relief as I lay still. But at first I felt dread for the pain that I might feel again if I moved. But this is no way to live life, fearful of aches and pains and physical limitations.
Then I felt Anne's presence next to me, and it brought a warm, relaxing feeling, much as you would feel from a loved one laying near you. And I realized I do not have cancer or some other dreaded disease, I am not blind, nor am I battling the devastating and emotional explosion of having lost a child.
And dear reader, at that point I thought of you. If you have lost a child, if you are fighting a horrific disease or have lost your vision, I deeply care. Your life and your feelings matter to me.
God blessed us with brethren and gave us each other for strength, for love and for compassion. You have me and you have the other loved ones in your life and each of us cares for your well-being and your happiness.
Dick
