7. Amen to that.

And the most of the doctors would love that scenario too. Like you I've always enjoyed good health overall, regardless of the occasional mishap. Although I tried to appreciate other girls' predicament, I couldn't even relate fully to monthly cramps because I never had them. No zits. I've probably had less than a dozen headaches my entire life, and those were minor, cured with a single aspirin. Etc. But that doesn't make me a better person or more loved by God. I was given the strength and stamina to help others as well as myself.

For years in healthcare I watched over terminal patients and appreciated the privilege of being with them when they passed. They did far more for me than I ever could have for them. My own soul has been granted a level of peace I could've gained no other way. What I've seen and heard would defy the belief of many people.
