It’s almost been a year.
I don’t deserve this.
I have watched Marisa find the courage for each and every bad result.
I don’t deserve this.
I have held Marisa while she holds on to Christ and gives cancer the old familiar suggestion.
I don’t deserve this.
I have seen cancer bend Marisa. Yet she refuses to break.
I don’t deserve this.
I have seen and felt Marisa take her last ounce of energy for the day and use it for others.
I don’t deserve this.
I have seen Marisa live the definition of selflessness.
I don’t deserve this.
I am living with someone so Christlike that I don’t deserve it.

I do not know how you guys keep your faith. Seriously. That is blunt for me to say, but I struggle immensely with God with such issues, not knowing how to make any sense out of it all, especially when so much prayer has gone into your situation. I would love to learn how you guys are doing it.

I don’t know you. I didn’t know Marisa.
I do know she lived. I do know she loved. I do know she was loved by you and her children.
I do know she was loved by God.
I do know Christ suffered for us so we can be free from suffering.
None of us deserve that, but we have it.
Thank you for writing this! It reminds me of what I don’t deserve.
My prayers are going up for you and your family.
