Stroke

Stroke My dad had a mini-stroke a few days ago, and can no longer see out the right half of his right eye.

It is sobering to realize that my father is mortal.

My mom had a mini-stroke everyone I’ve talked to says that she is fine but I’m so scared. I’m all the way in California going to college and I just don’t want anything to go wrong in my family. Please just pray for my family.
Much Love,
Dartanya

Dartanya,
It is scary, even though they call it a “mini” stroke. As I wrote, for me, it gave me a realization that my dad will not always be there.
I pray that your mother will recover quickly, and that out of this experience, your relationship with her would deepen.
