HEROs

[Guest guest]

I have been so moved by you folks that have shared your painful stories about your children. You are my heros!!!! I have a belief, some friends call it a delusion, but I cling to it never-the-less. I believe that there will be, there must be, a reward, a special reward, for those people that have suffered so much. I know many believe that will be heaven, and maybe they are right. What I believe strongly is .........why should there be a hell when so many humans suffer such untold misery right here and now. I've known people that would gladly welcome hell if only that would make their life on this earth more tolerable. I have a cousin who is more like the sister I never had. 30 some years ago she married a guy that carried the gene causing Huntington's corea (no cure, no treatment). They had 2 daughters that both contracted the disease when they were in their teens. The husband left the scene

shortly after the girls were born and has since died. Bridget died about 6 years ago, at age 26. is now in final stage....she's 27. My cousin and her husband have been nursing dying children for more than 20 years. So....why do I tell this story?? I'm not sure......I guess it's because she is the reason for my beliefs about hell. How could it possibly be worse than what she's endured?? I guess thinking and talking about her and some of you folks serves to remind me how damned lucky I am. For me, it's easy to look inward, to get real comfortable on the pity-pot.....hey, I've got a terminal illness....I now know that there are things that are worse than dying. You folks are my heros !!!! jim IPF 05 alaska

Hey Jim, I so relate to what you said. I always felt if this life is punishment for something I did, at least let me know what it was so I won't do it again. I keep being thankful for what I do have, because I see so much more pain out there and since I'm not perfect, why not me. You were there for your sister, so you too are a HERO!!!!!!
