Life
As I write this, my husband Mike is tugging on the computer. He thinks he is so funny and wants to get on the computer. One of the qualities I love about my husband is his playful and sweet-hearted nature. I really feel that he has a heart of gold and truly has a heart like a child. Our little friend Gracie is proving that miracles still happen. There have been so many that have prayed in her behalf and I know these prayers are being heard and answered. They took her off the ECMO machine, and it was literally do or die. She did, meaning that she is here, and still fighting. The doctors and nurses are really in unbelief how hard she is fighting. We are all blessed with miracles in our life. The week before Ryker passed away, Mike and I prayed for a miracle. Sometimes, the miracle is not always the miracle we are seeking. Ryker's miracle was being able to return to Heavenly Father, and I truly feel that we were blessed with a miracle. This little Gracie's miracle is that right now, she is here and still fighting literally for her life. It is hard sometimes to see these kids suffer, and as parents, we want as much time as we can with them. I remember seeing Ryker after his stomach repair, and just thinking that this is so hard for him and I felt the pain of not being able to take his pain away. I just feel that we need to recognize that we are all blessed with miracles, just some are better understood and seen. Please continue to pray for this family, I know they need all the prayers they can get.

Emily,
ReplyDeleteA diamond in the rough, a giant amoung men, a hero. These are phrases that come to my mind when I think of you.
I will continue to pray for Gracie. When I pray for her I don't know if I should be praying for her to live, or for her to be spared so much pain. In the end I just pray that God's will be done. Either way she is simply a mircle.
I will also continue to pray for you - you deserve a "happily ever after" more than anyone I know.
You are so sweet and genuine! I am amazed at the strength you have after going through such tough tough trials!
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteI love your words of wisdom, they truly are so inspiring and really help put my life and my little things into perspective. I am happy that Gracie is doing ok, please keep us posted. So Em, let me know how Mike does with Deal or No Deal, I hope that he gets in. How cool would that be for you guys! You seriously deserve something like that. Love ya.
I look forward to the day when we are all back into our loving heavenly Fathers arms healthy and whole, with no meds or pain. Time will keep flying by and we will look back with gratefull hearts that we had a chance to have a live, body and challenges. What a day that will be!
