Let me take a break from editing Ate's MRI photos and write some of the funny answers I would have liked to tell people...
I have my polite smiles, but I do have some funny replies that would get them dumbstruck - so I just keep it to myself.
Someone tells me kindly, "You are the best equipped to handle this situation. I know no one else who is stronger and more emotionally capable than you."
-- oh really, I can think of so many others!
Someone tells me kindly, "Perhaps it is your great faith that God chose you."
-- would you like to be among His chosen ones too?
Someone tells me kindly, "Oh look, she looks so sleepy."
-- oh she just finds you boring that's why.
Someone tells me kindly, "You can do it and handle this. I know you can."
-- I think you can too.
Someone tells me kindly, "God won't give a cross or a burden you cannot carry."
-- Would you like the same cross? And oh, she's not a burden.
Someone tells me kindly, "She's a blessing in disguise, you'll see."
-- I can see clearly she's not in disguise.
Of course I know all mean well. And it is their way to try to lift me up. And they do, when I think of the funny replies in my head behind my polite smiles.
