It's no wonder you take the everyday stresses of life in stride. Wow! The virtue of patience is not lost on you. Thank you for sharing this.

Kelly, thank you for reading and commenting. Years ago, I was told that praying for patience was a dangerous undertaking! I never actually prayed for that virtue, but the circumstances of my life grew it. I learned to "Not sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff." In light of Heaven, that's so true!

How could that doctor ask such a question? How could you abandon Ron? How could you rationalize such a thing to your children, to anybody? I cannot imagine.

I felt the same way, Marianne, and mentioned it to my minister. His take was that this doctor might have been considering ending his own marriage. Perhaps my words gave him something to reconsider. Thinking of it that way--as someone else's pain--helped me.
