As someone who has endured an abusive alcoholic upbringing, covert incest, abandonment by a parent, a chronic illness, many hospitalizations, a lost childhood and teenage-hood, a physical handicap, the loss of regular use of my legs, 2 bouts with cancer, a stroke, and countless visits to the OR/ICU stays, I REALLY need to read this story. I'm soon to undergo a shoulder replacement and shall endeavor to take the heart the scripture in James that you wrote about! Thank you so very much for writing this story :D
