I've always had a question, it seemed odd at the time it came to me but it was a question that I couldn't quite shake off. Does God have a sense of humor? Ridiculous question, I'm aware and have been reminded of that fact time in time against but I just couldn't forget it? Does God laugh at the funny stuff, the real funny stuff and not the pain that we find enjoyable and funny? Or maybe, maybe this is the answer to my question.

Maybe God loves irony. I practiced neurology my entire career but I couldn't notice when my own child had contracted a disease that was in MY field! I thought it was my baby boy trying to be a baby girl, but it was just a veil, wool pulled over my eyes as the Becker's Muscular Dystrophy mutated and disease presented itself.

I spent many a evening yelling to God, asking him if he was trying to punish me or Mitchell, pacing up and down my "man cave" without a clue of what to do. Perhaps it is a trial like Job went through, but I would do whatever needed to save my son. It's just... I can't help but feel powerless.
