I firmly believe that and some day you will understand that.  For now I am an ear for you whenever you need it.  Also remember that you eat an elephant one bite at a time.  Deal with today not tomorrow.  It won't be easy, nobody said life would be.  Eli will be fine and so will you.  Love him and remember being different isn't always a bad thing.  The good Lord never puts more bricks in the wagon than the mule can pull.  Your family is in my prayers and I know that Eli will be fine.  God's speed. |
