A Very Special Case.

I read an email from a friend. Not a close friend but a sweet girl none the less. She said there are complications with her pregnancy and she has a doctor in Altoona, Johnstown and Pittsburgh. God, did that bring back memories. She said that I am an inspiration and she follows this blog. Her experience sounds very similar to ours and my eyes filled with tears. She is on a hard road.

So to answer the question I've heard a thousand times, "How do you do it? How are you not overwhelmed?" That is how. I "tap into His gold mind of peace."
