Ten days ago, a very dear friend of mine who is 87 had a three-artery bypass and valve replacement surgery on the same day. During these days, I have reminded myself consistently that things would turn out just the way they do and recognizing that this is the only second we have any guarantee of.
Today, my dear friend was truly present when I visited, he laughed and even made a joke!
Is there anything greater than the spontaneous gift of life?
