When I first heard word that there was something wrong with the baby I was pregnant with, the doctors initially thought it was down syndrome along with some physical disabilities as well. That was ruled out about 2 weeks later, but during those 2 weeks that I was having panic attacks and severe anxiety, thinking I was going to be having a severely disabled child, it was my faith and multiple visits with my priest that helped bring me peace and helped me get through the hardest time of my life.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
