Heaven, Hell and Ear Tubes

It’s almost Easter and I’ve been reflecting a lot on spirituality, heaven, God and how it all comes together. I’m so angry with God, the universe and our bodies. One day my anger will subside enough to keep figuring things out because I’m selfish and I want to be with Will and our family in the ever after. All these answers will come with time and it’s good to think about.
The four things I pray for, usually in this order:
-for a cure in Will’s life
-if no cure, for God to take Will home swiftly whenever it’s time. Let his life drag out and be full of joy, but please don't put him through more suffering at the end.
-for strength – for me, Neil, Will, our families, friends and strangers
-for peace
I’ll add in my prayer list this week that Will is getting his second round of tubes put in on Thursday. Keep him safe and let him come out of the surgery strong.
Someone who I admire very much told me the other week as we contemplated spirituality and showing Will the path to Heaven, “Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell; spirituality is for those who've already been there." – I don’t know what I think of this statement, but there is something about it that I know I like. Pretty sure we’re in hell right now. It’s not what I expected.
I finally downloaded some pictures off the camera... Random shots!
