Well, if God did intervene, I'd thank him for keeping a mind like his around for as long as he's been here.
A better miracle would have been to heal him completely. ...and wipe ALS and other debilitating diseases out of existence. Let everyone die of sudden strokes and heart attacks. I'm fine with mortality. It's the slow, agonizing death over years or decades that I'm afraid of.
I wouldn't call it a miracle, just because less than 10% of patients with ALS survive after 6 years of receiving the diagnosis, It's rare, but not unheard of. But I agree that it is one hell of a slow killing disease. I should know, I have taken care of some patients with it.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
