What We Do With It
For the facts, today I again arrived at the ER due to some symptoms of internal bleeding. Thankfully Meliss advocated for me to go. And sure enough, they caught an internal bleed and admitted me in preparation for a possible blood transfusion tomorrow while running some other tests and procedures.
But there’s more happening than meets the eye, and I need remind myself as often as I can of this.
Indeed, it’s been a long time coming that we’ve dreamed of better days, where pain is distant and the dreams we imagined to be beautiful in that.
Though I need observe from this hospital bed the beauty that surrounds me in simple interactions with the people here. Each one having a story and bringing to me the possibility of hope, light-heartedness, and a place to share the burden. For encouraging dreams and wanting to help push their trajectory into whatever brings goodness and life into their story. Maybe it’s simply remembering that we have the ability in who we are to remind people their story is significant.
I lie here not in problem, but in an opportunity. And these words are so that I’ll have proof to remember this whenever it gets tough again.
We say with much appreciation that we are grateful for your prayers and support, my friends.
