What Was I Praying For?
A conversation with my friend
"My father's surgery went as well as can be expected", she tells me. But she doesn't sound relieved. He is 87 and fragile so this surgery is not the end of his complicated medical problems.
"It's funny", she continues, "this morning I went to church to pray for him and I just couldn't figure out what I was praying for. Is it time to let him go ? Or do I pray that he makes it through this tough surgery? And then what? I don't know what I want for him or me right now."
