Therefore, it was clear to doctors, perhaps before it was clear to us, that the illness would likely eventually take his life."

A Perfect Summer Day's Tragedy

A Walk of Faith
"During these lonely years, my only friend was God. He was with me as early as three years old. While growing up, I had the distinct knowledge that my life would be unordinary yet rewarding in the end."
