"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Ecclesiastics 3:1

There is a time for birth and a time for death.  Both are a part of life.  They are natural.  That doesn't mean either is necessarily easy.  With a loved one with a terminal and progressive illness, it sometimes helps me to see the "bigger picture".  The fact that all of us will die.  I try to honor the season I am in, the season my loved one is in.  For everything, there is a time.
