The birthday wish (Oct. 7th)

(it's been a while...sorry) The week before Larissa's birthday I started praying that she would have that one day free from headaches. Every day Larissa is in pain, I thought it would be a nice birthday gift for her to have a day off. Unfortunately it didn't happen. By the time her birthday came she had been without sleep for 36 hours, she goes through these periods of time when she just can't sleep, they always make her much sicker. The day before her birthday she had a melt down. She tried to go to the college 20's group but ended up crying in the bathroom and so Cari (who has been an incredible sister) took her to a movie to cheer her up. We went to Melting pot for the birthday dinner and Larissa leaned on me and moaned, her headache was so bad and then she apologized for her break down the day before. Bless her heart, I know I'd be melting down a lot more if I was sick for as long as she has been. This whole thing was really hard on me. I don't understand why we are going through all this. I don't understand why we can't have some relief. God has to be doing something good, it's just really hard to see right now.
