is why little children suffer so. I have mentioned here before that my youngest son died several years ago, from a terrible condition that caused terrible suffering before his demise. I have tried to reason it all out, but I cannot. I can either accept it, or go screaming into the night, crazy as a june-bug.
There are many lessons I have learned from the tragedy, however. One is that there is always someone who needs you, and is in far worse condition than you. How many of us have read about Adam, and forgotten to complain about the latest episode of CH? If that young man can endure, so can we.
Dennis, with your perfectly warped sense of humor, and your no-doubt broken heart, we stand by you. You are braver than many of us would dare to be. I've stood where you stand, man. I know the gut-wrenching routine. There have been many who have spoken since your troubles began. There are many more keeping a silent, prayerful vigil until things are better.
Adam, I've never had the pleasure of making your acquaintance. But I've read the tales, and you must be some character. You have many friends that you've never met. Be well, Adam. The world needs you.
