Your Dad sounds like an awesome person; Someone the world needs more of.

I have to admit that I have learned by going through this mercury ordeal to have more compassion. Being in such good health most of my life left me wondering what was wrong with all the sickly people. Now I know and I feel great compassion for them. It's really hard to be in constant pain and to be constantly sick and the people who endure it are to be treated with great respect.

I also cannot wait for the day when justice is seen on the heads of those people who purportrate this great suffering on people; A day when people will finally recoginize (again) that very evil people exist in the world who view others as animals and without value. That day is coming and in that day, the sufferers will be the heros, the evil people will be the suffering, and God will be (finally) recoginized as being the good, patient, and merciful person that He is.

Until that day!
