Characteristics of those who can handle Stress well

These are definitely evident in those of us who remain in this family. We have suffered many losses and are still optimistic about the future. Al's cancer is an ongoing battle,but so far our Faith has sustained us in the face of daunting circumstances. Al currently has a large blood clot in his leg and is on a daily needle for 6 months. So he's off his feet again. We are thankful his cancer is still stabilized.
