shouldn't you say . . .
we need to understand that we can't have an answer, should we be asked. Any time someone believes something they have an answer, and of course they are all different even if similar. And there is a great danger here: although some people believe things in a simple or straightforward way that allows them room to live their life most people force their beliefs on themselves to avoid facing the things that drove them to look for answers in the first place. Protecting ourselves with our beliefs (or our answer to why) is a nasty business that seems to drive most of the problems that plague both the personal and public world. A person becomes their job, their religion, their politic, their aesthetic (sp?), even their hobby and then to convince ourselves that we have answered the question right we try to convince or insist that everyone else uses our answer too, and feeling the stronger the more people we can believe we have on our side. Politics in particular is a congregation of the weak, and great armies of cowards have spit fire at each other over the centuries to the decay of nations.
But i guess i'm blogging at your blog. It's not too long so i guess i'll post anyway. Sorry if this is bad blogging etiquette.

It's amazing how certain cicumstances
suddenly, unexpectedly, bring us to a personal epiphony. At least you had the wisdom to realize it for what it was and used it to your benefit.

A question deserving of an answer
Wiley that is an intresting if sad story. I was visiting a friend and I had some friends on staff at that particular hospital so they where flexible about the visiting hours. I wanted to stay close to my friend and it was then that I came upon Samantha. I have been a caregiver on and off for years.

Why
That was a very poignant blog on that little girl. I enjoy your writing, and must ask you this question if you don't mind. What brought you to the bed of that little girl at that time? Do you work in that field?
