I seriously thought I might never be able to walk again. All I could think about was the pain. It hurt that badly. When one goes through the horror of seeing a child dying it is hard to think of anything else. Ask any parent who has gone through that torment.
Life loses all perspective.
The focus of one's whole existence becomes the suffering of the child. My pastor and his wife lost a little girl to cancer and the stories that they tell give me chills. Yet, somehow they were able to minister to others in the midst of their pain and torment. Bill Mouser is a lot like Dick Butkus, only he is much more of a true hero. Butkus was able to play football in spite of the intense pain of knee surgery.
