There plenty of words in my head, none adequate to respond to such an agony of suffering your heart’s journey has been on… only irreverent, incoherent questions to a incomprehensible, All-knowing, All-Loving Father…How have you kept Faith…I guess I’ll find out when I meet you in Heaven…kat
Id like to give you a really deep and mysitical answer and be able to share that with other spouses undergong similar trials. But the truth is: I don't know. We had no foreknowledge of how long the journey woul dbe when it began. We were initially told Ron would be in the hospital for three weeks. But that continued to stretch, with surgeries and infections and midnight hospital calls, to an unbelievable ten months. Yes. Ten months. The day Ron was released, in January of 2001, the principal came to my room to tell me I had a message from the hospital. I froze. He said, "Gee, I;m sorry. I forgot the kind of messages you usually get. This is a good one. He's coming home!" Unfortunately, illnesses and complications continued to follow Ron. In all, he was hospitalized 46 times.
Miracles come in many guises. Even in such guises that we don't recognize them as miracles. Our weariness and pain often hide the reality of the miracle of survival and life despite all odds. The miracle of each life was pre-recorded in God's book from beginning to end. Psalm 139.
I did the math…19.3 years!?
There are no words …

Thank you for the beuatiful reminder, Lisa. Each of those 7,072 days Ron survived was indeed a miracle and we were blessed by them.
