This snow storm brought much time to reflect.
I was thinking about Terry’s ( my husband ) 17 month stay in a step down unit. What sustained he and I during those long months … family, friends, the Wii, and hope. Family and friends were always there, but the Wii took up many hours playing tennis, bowling, and bringing a change of pace to the long days and nights of hospital life. Each and every day that I entered the hospital room I needed to provide Terry and myself with the thoughts that things were going to get better! Providing that smile talking about when he was going home, were prime indicators of how I kept his and my spirits high. Where did this light come from? I realized it was my faith in the Lord. It was a feeling that what we wanted could be had if we had hope. Hope in the Lord, hope in his divine power, hope in the fact that his light will reach through the darkness . Terry did make it home for 7 weeks before passing… the happiest weeks for both he and I ! Never loose HOPE 💖
