THe past couple of months have been a whirlwind. In april I learned my daughter has epilepsy. This is after two very scary grand mal seizures. In May I had an accident snowboarding. I broke my arm pretty seriously. I had surgery. I have a plate and 10 pins in my arm. It has not been fun or easy. They say six months for total rehab. I have a big scar on my arm. THis is an accident that could of happened anywhere. I will go back to snowboarding because I enjoy the beauty of a snow filled mountain, floating down a hill on powder. In the midst of my pain my closest friend miscarried. When she was at her worst I was on my way to her house. I called 911 and took care of her. The best I could. She credits me and my coworker for saving her life as the hospital determined if I we wouldn't of got there she would of died. I never wish this on anyone what she went through. The doctor she had didn't respond properly and I was so upset. She has no family here so her fiance and I were her family. Wow what a tough couple of months. This all made me appreciate what I do have. That tough as my decisions the past few years have been I am a good person, I will be okay, and life is precious. Prayers do wonders. Family is precious. I have had good news...I get married in August to a wonderful man. My friend is doing better and can have more children. My arm will heal. My daughter graduated and as long as she sticks with her meds she can be seizure free. I move forward with new hope.
I am glad to hear that things are somewhat getting back to normal for you and Congrats on your up coming wedding. Your friend (who miscarried) is very lucky to have a friend like you to care for her during her time of need. Its a very difficult thing to deal with when you don't have have family or close friends around for comfort. Ro P.S. I will keep you and friend in my prayers
God is good, Chik... and I am thankful that you are seeing the glory through all these negative circumstances. Be encouraged today... you have certainly been an encourager to us.
Chik....I think we all have moments like these, but recently I've decided that life's so short, I should just start being thankful for what I have and try to let the rest go. I found a song that I like to listen to when I feel the "woe is me" symptoms coming on. It's by Montgomery Gentry, and it's called Lucky Man.
Oh I agree with everyone God is there...in his way. I realize I am lucky to have wonderful teenagers, a wonderful man, and life. Jen...I like that song. Life is short and I agree. I wake up every morning and look at this mountain (mount Massive) which is one of the tallest in the US. Pink and orange sunrises. Drives to work my traffic is a tourist or two, herds of elk, deer, an occassional fox. Beauty surrounds me. I'll have to find some pictures and post later. I appreciate prayers for my friend. I have had tests but the just make me stronger.
