I thought this might help on the rough days to recovery.

"My life is but a weaving, between my God and me
I do not choose the colours, He worketh steadily.
Off times he weaves sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent and shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver's hand
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned."

I actually met Corrie ten Boom when I was in Holland in the 70's - she was an amazing and inspirational woman.

A book that helped me tremendously after John's accident was "When Bad Things Happen to Good People", written by Harold Kushner. Kushner was a rabbi whose son died at an early age of a horrible disease. He grappled with the obvious questions of why he, who was living a life fully devoted to God, would have to suffer in this way - especially compared to others who had large, healthy families with no apparent problems. I highly recommend the book:

What beautiful thoughts... I've never thought much about recovery because I've always been bpi... sometimes I've briefly wondered why... then moved on... this is very touching.
