But because I do know you (in this way) and Sophie and Oliver and Henry, I couldn't help but feel involved in a way I never would have before. I also thought of all the people I know who have used and do use marijuana to alleviate the pain and the nausea of chemo. I heard that one doctor say, "This is a drug which humans have been using for thousands of years." Or something like that. I saw little Vivian stumble and be confused on her "traditional" seizure medication. I saw the powerful eyes of the Stanley brothers. I saw the true belief in the face of Sanjay Gupta. I saw the desperation, the hope in the eyes of the families who have moved to Colorado to seek what could save their children's lives. <br />I think that the rock is rolling down the mountain, gaining speed and momentum. I think that this train has left the station. I think that the Federal Government will have no choice but to remove marijuana from the Schedule 1 classification. I think that the parents of the children who can and who will benefit so hugely from this compound are the bravest of the brave. The most loving of the loving. This is what I mean when I talk about love being the current that runs it all. <br />I think about you, Elizabeth. I think about Sophie. I think of your eyes, her eyes. <br />I love you.

I want to say that at least she is finally almost entirely seizure free, finally her brain can rest, but I imagine the very miracle of this on some days breaks your heart anew. It breaks my own heart to think of it so I probably cannot even fathom the pain in yours even amid the celebration. I am glad you write about it, so the whole world will know. Thanh you. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-8258037781094375682014-03-11T22:54:38.637-07:002014-03-11T22:54:38.637-07:00Reading this, I want to weep.
