My heart nearly stopped when I walked into Vic’s room this morning. She looked as if she had died. Vic had had a terrible night and actually, a terrible day too.
Today, I again realized that Vic is truly a prisoner of pain and despair. For 36 years she has held onto life, against all odds. Poor precious child. I cannot help but ask the question “Why was Vic dealt such horrible cards in life?” Surely there must of been people more worthy of this tortuous life??? Oh yes, the purification process… Surely we have been through the melting ovens enough – if we have not been purified by now it will never happen! Now whoever brought this upon us – please move along!! It is someone elses’s turn.
Vic once said to me that if she believed in reincarnation she may have understood her life. She would then have believed that she was Pontius Pilate in her her previous life…
If I could change places with my child I would. If by any magic I could take over her pain and misery – even for a couple of hours, I would. I can’t!!!!!
“Where there is life there is hope”. Who came up with that stupid cliche? Vic has hoped and prayed for so long! Everyone has prayed for her. People from all continents and across all religions and denominations have prayed for her to be healed. She has been anointed with oil. And then there are those religious know-it-all’s who claim that the sins of our forefathers have brought this curse upon Vic. What absolute hogwash! How can people, who believe in a God of Mercy, make such a statement?? Either there is a God of Mercy and a Son who died for our sins or there isn’t! You cannot have it both ways!
Walk in our shoes for one day before you make such cold, uncaring, loveless statements. Look at Vic’s beautiful sons and then YOU, oh righteous, pious one, tell them that Vic’s journey is because of a curse cast on her by the God that they trust and love…
We’re all on a journey toward death anyway – how we get there, and what we’re able to do in that time is the important thing. But all journeys have an end. I pray that Vic’s journey will end!
