I am of the mindset that everything happens for a reason. Even things we perceive as "bad" or inconvenient. The reason may or may not reveal itself right away. I know some of the things that have happened in my life have been extremely painful but their purpose has been revealed to me years later.

Erika,
Just read this thread for the first time…prayers for continued strength for your whole family as they await all of these health issues to be taken care of…and for you too, who are such an amazing, caring person...:hug:
