Every night, without fail, he wiggles a bit more toward the edge of the bed as he asks me, “Got enough room, Honey?”

Every night I assure him that I have lots of room and ask him if the cat has left a few inches for him! (The cat sleeps snuggled against his leg and he makes room for it – his cat seems to have forgotten the good old days in a cage at the SPCA!)

Been thinking deeply about our lot. We never, ever felt “God gave us this disease” – just as we don’t believe it’s His will for children, etc. to die. He allows sorrow and could change or reverse it. That’s our belief -we have quietly accepted and lived it.

Years ago I’d pray for the “Ability, Courage, Strength and Wisdom” to do what was best in whatever situation we were dealing with. Still do. That seems to cover the bases. I remembered it alphabetically so I wouldn’t miss one – kind of silly but that’s how I memorize stuff.

I kind of like the fact there are up to seven “chances” to win the series – but, you could win after four.
It’s all in the details, a dropped ball, a strike out or base on balls. A home run to seal the fate of the winning or losing team – depends which team you’re on.

I guess what I’m thinking is that someone has to lose, you play til someone wins – the innings go on. Each team gets the same number of “chances” to win. Both sides are basically equal to have reached the finals but someone will win and thus someone will lose. That’s guaranteed. Those are the rules.

Not complaining, but in the game of Life, I guess we lost in game 7.
