The Becky Crisis

So many issues came out of Becky's illness. A concern is about the ethical behavior of the medical profession in Kingman, AZ. Because so many of these kids grew up together, they know each other--very well. I believe professional lines were blurred at Kingman Regional Medical Center with the ICU staff. This prevented Mark and I from being able to minister to our daughter without outside approval.

On the other hand, we know our Becky. She does not want us involved in her care.
Even now, this day, there is no desire for her to have much contact with us.

So, here's my opinion about that: I will not be tolerated. I spent an entire year of school life being bullied. I decode those formative days and learn to deal with the wounds from that time. If my daughter desires no contact, that is her right. It is rejection. She's an adult and has a right to have us removed from her life. Let it be known that I did not choose this, but I respect her decision and will not tread where I am not wanted. What her father does, is his business.

New Cross in New Mexico

Why do I notice these crosses? Last time we traveled (Summer 2010) through Hobbs and New Mexico State Highway 529, I look for these lost souls. There is a new one now. Did not get a chance to stop, but it breaks my heart.
