I came home that evening buoyed by something new and unexpected. It was the same sense of lift Adam must have felt when he had the t-shirts made. Until that time I was completely ignorant of hope, perhaps because I had never been so desperately in need of it. But that night I momentarily lost my fear of hope, which is nothing other than the fear of death, and remembered again the Bible’s quaint promise, “Hope maketh not ashamed.” I will not be ashamed of my hope. When this new thing took over in me it was like nothing I had ever felt; for as long as I had it I was unnaturally energized, like the ninety-pound weakling who with a rush of adrenaline manages to lift a car off the accident victim. It wasn’t that I believed Adam would be cured, but in defiance of all the evidence I was positive he would survive and our family would remain whole.
