The Serenity of a Life Lived in Community

Ruthie was this island of serenity. She said she told her girls when they broke the news to her three children who are 16 11 and 7 when they have cancer, "We're not going to be angry at God" Her chief bully called me right after Ruthie's diagnosis got my number in Philly called me and said I'm praying for you and we didn't talk about what had happened. Andrew Sullivan the blogger he and I used to fight all the time about politics online wrote to us saying life is too short to fight over politics but we're having dinner because of Ruthie so we raised our glass to her Wow.
