Everything Changed – Again?

Another child with a brain tumor does not make sense. The news came two weeks ago, but it still doesn’t make sense. We’re all still reeling from what has happened during the last twelve months. How are we supposed to deal with this? Again, it does not make sense, it hurts beyond description, and it has changed everything – again.?

So, what do we do? What can we do??

We wake up in the morning, hope it was only a horrible dream, then face reality. Take several deep breaths and move into the activities of the day.?

We watch as those under the most pressure trudge through the demands that cannot wait. We watch, and we listen for ways to help.?

We pray, or we try to pray, for wisdom, understanding, and strength to get through the next hour. We pray for signs that things are improving, and we watch for signs of answered prayers.?

We do what we can, hoping that doing what we can is enough. Then, finally, we reach the end of the day, reflect on what we have done, and try to accept that we have done all we can for one day.

We try to rest. The nights are short, the days are long, and another day begins before we are ready. We start with the same realization that everything has just changed – again.?
