Suffering

“Easy for you to say,” you say. “You have so much—a loving family and health and friends.”

You’re right. I do.

And so do you. You might not feel like you do—you might not feel like the tender Princess atop her mattress stack—but you do have blessings beneath you, around you.

I know you do. This “not for granted” business is real.

I know it is true because I see it.

I saw it in a dear friend’s Caring Bridge post tonight. Her husband’s cancer is back with a vengeance.
