Hildy .. Let me tell you a little story ...
My father was diagnosed with cancer when I was 3 years old .. The doctors told my mother at the time he will not live more the 48 hours after being rushed to the hospital.
They were wrong ... he survive to live another 5 years .. During this 5 years he was in and out of hospitals till he died
My mother cared for him and his ALL medical problems while also caring for their 7 children
There were many many many people that told her she walk away .. put us kids in foster homes and get on with her life
She did not do that because she also honored her commitment before God to her husband
It's apples and oranges, I'm talking about a choice you would make when you're 24 years old because that's how old she was when this happened.
Thank you.
It explains much good.
Blessings.
