Thoughts from Mom
This verse of the day seemed very appropriate after my first night of 8 hours of sleep. I do feel some what restored. Thank you Lord. Each day has brought so many new challenges for me and Rick. Our challenges are taking us in different directions right now and I miss his support. For Rick the challenges of rehab and for me the day-to-day decisions that we used to make together.
Rick is locked in a world without language for now. I am praying that God would restore it and that Rick would use it to glorify His kingdom. And maybe to talk to the rest of us too. He faces many other challenges but Rick is a fighter. Anyone who has run marathons knows how to gut it out.
We are both very independent people but I miss his wisdom, guidance, and leadership. I miss his use of language and the unique and powerful way he spoke. I miss our coffee in the morning and quiet conversations. I miss the many little things he did routinely to make our lives flow together.
On May 27th we celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and there has never been an anniversary that I have appreciated him more. I am so grateful that God put us together. That he gave us our three beautiful, courageous and resourceful daughters, our two grandsons and our new little granddaughter who will be arriving this summer. What a legacy we have.
Thank you so much for all your prayers. They have sustained Rick, me, the girls and our son-in-laws. And a potential son-in law, Zac, who we have come to love dearly. Please don't stop, it helps us get up in the morning and get through our day.
Our God is faithful!
Kathy
