Grasping at Grace (and Growth)

Thanks for reading it - in all the years since I first met Bob, my belief that this happened in a way that cannot be explained by rational thought has never wavered. Although even if it could, I still think of it as a fairy tale - with all of life's bumps, warts, heartaches and glitches, this is still my happily ever after.

Thanks, too, for the sympathy. I think I'm happy for the diagnosis; when the doctor said it wasn't a blown disc, both Bob and I breathed a sigh of relief, because he had had that problem several years ago, and neither of us wanted the risk of necessary surgery. And I'm already feeling a good deal better today!
