She shook her head. I said, "If I had MS - a different disease - you wouldn't be hearing about cancer, but you might complain to me that it seems like everybody has MS." She laughed.<BR/><BR/>Then I mentioned a non-medical analogy: seeing the same color (or kind of) car as ours. Yes, there is a lot of disease out there. Too much! But the sense that it's everywhere is partly related to the connections we are having that we might not have otherwise.<BR/><BR/>I don't post on your blog often, but I keep you in my personal prayers.
