Here's hoping that your day is an enjoyable one! ~Lori

For my mother-in-law who left this world and a family who loved her
very much yesterday.

'The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can
believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness.  A cruel man
might be bribed – might grow tired of his vile sport – might have a
temporary fit of mercy as alcoholics have fits of sobriety,  But
suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are
wholly good.  The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more
inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if
he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that
point would have been useless’ - C.S. Lewis
