Thank you for your kind comments...Unfortunately the outcome was not positive...my son died about one year after this event...

I could not cure my son, but I could make sure, that nosey parker people were kept away from him, and that is something that I did...my son had many prayer groups from many different churches praying for him, and many different priests and ministers who were invited by him, and by me tend to his spiritual needs...he was 15, and knew how terribly ill he was and knew he would probably not survive...so he armed himself with prayers and guidance and kind thoughts and kind words from those 'religious' people he knew and admired....

When he died, he was entirely at peace with his situation...he fully trusted that the Lord, would keep him in His care....he did not need these nosey, loud, uncharitable folks for support...he had support from true loving people, who had his welfare in mind, and did not need another 'cure', to boost their tally count of those that they had saved(which is exactly how I regarded these awful people who wanted to barge in on my son)..

Re 142: When he died, he was entirely at peace with his situation.

I am saddened that you suffered this loss. I am saddened that your son did not reach his full adulthood.

There are some unpredictable/random events in life. I refuse to attribute either good outcomes to a god or bad outcomes to a satan. Or fail to blame bad outcomes on a god who might have prevented them.

I do not have the same faith beliefs as you, but I think this goes out the window when we have real human caring involved. Human caring counts more than all the doctrinal issues ever conceived. As you elegantly said: he did not need these nosey, loud, uncharitable folks for support...he had support from true loving people, who had his welfare in mind, and did not need another 'cure', to boost their tally count of those that they had saved (which is exactly how I regarded these awful people who wanted to barge in on my son).

Wishing you peace.
