During my year in the ICU as I trained as a trauma surgeon, the threat of tragedy loomed daily.

In her final months, she no longer recognized Bible verses that had buoyed her through so many storms. But she still had “Amazing Grace.”During Violet’s last year, I visited her every Tuesday with my Bible in hand.
