Proximity will deny your faith.
A woman clutching her day old son entered the room, unwrapped him from the sheets she cradled him with, gasping for breath, toes and fingers blue, eyes slit-like as if there was so little to live for. She told, with no remorse, that she never had any check-ups and when her water broke, delivered at home attended not by a doctor or a midwife or even a nurse. Even stated matter of factly that his...
