Illness. Disability. What comes to mind when you read those two words? Maybe you know someone who is ill and/or disabled, and that person comes to mind. Maybe you yourself are ill. Maybe you are disabled. Maybe nothing comes to mind. For me, two other words come to mind: vulnerability and fear. Thank God, as of right now, I am in good health, but I know people who are sick and struggling. It’s fair to say that most of us don’t plan for future illnesses or for drastic life changes, but life doesn’t always happen the way we think it will.
