Mike, I am so sorry to just now read this news. Hard to do at the moment, I know, but try to keep in mind this life is nothing but a school from which we all graduate. And the only purpose of the school to learn to unite ourselves to God in love, so that we are united seamlessly at graduation. But meanwhile some classes we would much rather not take, and as children, might not understand they are for our own good and the good of others we love. Hang in there, in love and trust that all things work for the better, and know you and your wife are in my prayers, and will place you and Lucille on the prayer intentions board outside our 24/7 chapel.
