Your honesty is compelling, as is Rudy's. It is a powerful reminder of the need to honor truth. I am sharing your prayers for Sam and his family. Bene, thank you for letting us hear this story too.

And as you eloquently say...the complications aren't worth it. As Sam goes through diagnosis and treatment and as Rudy blogs about thier experience, I pray the honesty is met with great love. Blog on! Deb:

It's just recently (the past two years) that I'm experiencing the freedom that comes with the truth. To me, the truth is simple because it is what it is...nothing more, nothing less. Secrets get complicated. They take on lives of their own. They are seldom simple. I guess there's a difference between the "truth" and telling the truth. I agree that telling the truth is not always simple. I have great respect for Rudy too. I'm praying for Sam and the family. I have spent along time living under the burden of lies and secrets.

You are correct, there is freedom. I respect Rudy for reaching out and telling others his families needs. Hi Deb:

If we could all live in the simple beauty of truth what freedom there would be. Thank you for reminding me of that in such a powerful way. Secrets are so damaging.
