There must be peace...

...when you're on the other side of the globe from family.

...when you get an email saying that your beloved grandmother has had a stroke.

...when you hear your dad say over the phone that she doesn't look good.

...when you think of her not being able to swallow, not knowing where she is, not able to move her left side.

...when you think of your grandfather who is facing the possibility of being alone for the first time in over 70 years.

...when you give thanks for her children being able get to get to the hospital quickly, work together, and make rational decisions.

...when you know that you are among generations of a believing family.
