I used to be a good Catholic. Now I am simply a good person.

This is a tough one

My mother may have cancer. We're still waiting to talk to the oncologist and have more tests, but it's looking pretty grim. I know my mom is comforted by the people offering prayers for her. I really don't think prayers will save her, but hopefully they will empower her to fight though this. At times like this it's frustrating to not have a higher power to appeal to. My feeling is that whatever happens, happens... and there's not much you can do about it. Even though I don't believe in prayer, I'm more than happy to have people pray for my mom because then she will believe it's possible to get through this.
