A deaf man's wife received a letter from her sister, whom she had not seen in many years. In the letter, the sister explained she was dying and would not survive the year.
The deaf man's wife immediately left and headed east to tend to her sister. Three days after she arrived, she received word that a tornado had taken away her house -- with her husband inside.
Her sister felt terrible. She knew that if it had not been for her illness, the woman would have been able to hear the storm rising and might have saved her deaf husband.
"Or maybe," the woman answered, "I could not have saved him, and the pain of seeing him die in the storm would have killed me, too."

Dr. Mike!
What a charming story! ;)
But I agree with Dr. Mike. It contains a pearl of wisdom.
Thank you, both.
