Thy Will Be Done

In my class last night a woman told a story about when her first baby died and her mother—after seeing her suffer—came to her and gently said, “You have been saying the Lord’s prayer for many years. The part about “thy will be done” is for real. It includes even this.”

I sat there and heard that and thought, “Oh, shit.”

Do I mean it? About my life? My relationship with John? His cancer? All of it?
