Darrin is very sick.
He lost consciousness tonight, and after he regained consciousness I took him right to the hospital. They did a complete blood panel, and while waiting on that, they hooked him up to all kinds of monitors. His blood pressure was 90/30. He was near to death. When the blood tests came back, they showed that everything possible was messed up. His kidneys, liver, heart, etc., are all doing things they should not. He has mild hepatitis for no known reason, and his kidneys are failing. He is currently in the ICU and is receiving excellent care.
I am scared.
He is my whole world.
Please pray for him.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
Larry King: What, though, Gordon, do you say to parishioners who say what do I do with my anger?

The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
