Lots of people tell me how this is gonna "work out" (kind of like good karma) or good stuff is gonna happen. I don't see that.

But what she would really like is to be able to go to the bathroom, and not be in pain.
I do know we have lived an incredibly privileged life . I still see God as God-but there are a lot of people whose physical lives are much worse who never get to see the metaphorical light of day. Being restored a la Job just may not happen.
