The Hug

Today, I hugged that man who rescued my son when God failed my family. While others prayed to a deity who allowed my child to be afflicted by continual seizures that ravaged the left side of his body, only one man laid hands and a scalpel on my child to end the seizures. The hand of God did not make an appearance and my son’s seemingly miraculous medical turnaround is not a miracle. It is the result of phenomenal technology, innovative medical research and the craftsmanship of one extraordinary surgeon. For months, my faith has been in doubt. My doubts have now vanished and I am once again a believer – a believer in science.
