Because that IS how it works, isn't it? Despair passes, hope returns, and then hope passes and despair returns, and then back again. All things pass. I hope the Charlotte's Web makes a difference.

As to what a Mother's love can achieve. As to the miracle of an herb with the science of some truly good people behind it. <br />Elizabeth- I'm going to go light a candle right now because when I am overcome with the Mystery of it all, that's all I know to do. And let me just say to Colleen that the sermons I receive here are holy, true, and good. All of them.
