It was two days before Christmas and a horrible ice storm hit our town. Thousands were without power and the outside temperatures were below freezing.

After cleaning up the kitchen, I sat down for a minute to relax and work on a puzzle. Out of the blue, a family from my church came to my mind. The mother is suffering from a severe mental condition and has been placed in an adult care facility. The father has a major brain injury, and the oldest son has Down syndrome.
