I know how the story ends

Sometimes it feels like everyone is sad except me. I have seen that sadness in the faces of friends and family. I have seen that sadness on the face of health care workers. I have seen on the faces of random strangers when they hear about my story.

Health care professionals deal with these issues every day - the sad realities of life that sometimes mean there is no cure, no treatment, no answer.

I recently said to my health team, “We all know how this story is going to end. We just don’t know how it’s going to look on the way there.”

But the truth is, the story doesn’t end here on earth. It will end with Heaven and communion with the Father forever. Yes, I know how the story ends, but it doesn’t end with the grave.
