Marge; I truly hope and pray your son continues to improve and stay here a while longer. I'm not going to make any statements as to what will or won't happen. I am going to say that you are loved, and that even more than your freinds here care for you, God loves you and your family, and will do whatever needs to be done.
And Deadly Sushi, you know why things are the way they are, to help us grow into who we must become before we pass from mortality into imortality. Life isn't supposed to be easy, but rather, it's supposed to challenge us, to help us grow. Mortality is such a small speck when put into an Eternal perspective.
And that's about as deep as I can get on such a public forum as this. Just know that you are correct. God has a perfect plan.
That being said, for Marge, and the rest of here on this planet, I sure wish there could be a break from the learning. We could all use a "recess" sometimes in this school-day of life.
Seeeeeeeya; Goodweed of the North
