A close person ( we’ll call him Dlynn as that was the name used in the book written about him) had cystic fibrosis and continually condemned it as a curse always saying ‘Why me?!?. It was at a very sick point for him when he found himself passing through a tunnel with a bright light at the end. He knew what it was and thought, wait a moment this can’t be right, at that moment he stopped still. He could see his wife and children at one end sitting in the hospital room and a warm bright light at the other end. He thought not now, this can’t be happening to me, WHY ME! and at that moment he was transported to view himself sitting in a class room listening to a discussion on cystic fibrosis. How dreaded a disease it was and how much pain it would entail. But most of all how grand were the rewards for enduring. It would be an accelerated path for eternity. Then he saws himself accepting the challenge. He returned with the charge that there were no guarantees and that his pain would far exceed anything previous experienced. From that moment on you never heard “why me” from him. He brought back lessons which changed his life and all those who were around him.
