Yesterday was a so/so day for me. Mike would have it as a holiday working for the City of WDM and I would try to take it as a vacation day so we would have the day together. We rarely went to movies in the movie theater so sometimes on the Sunday night before we'd really spurge and go to a late movie, figuring it wouldn't be too crowded. So while I should have been motivated to do things yesterday I wasn't really - and being a gloomy, overcast day didn't help either.
A bright spot for me was learning my friend Lynn was released from the hospital less than a week from having her stroke! All praise and thanks to God for that.
I found out last night that one of my good friends that sent me my Valentine's day roses and bear received her test results for something that she's going through and let's just say the only good news was the the Hepatitis results were negative, so that was sad. More prayers were sent her way.
One of the couples in my small group - the husband is going through a similar issue Mike went through after his cancer surgery. Mike had an issue with dizziness, vertigo, "things just not right with his world", etc., pretty much all this friend is going through, except this guy is also dealing with blood pressure issues - Mike didn't have that until he was put on oral chemo. My heart goes out to that couple seeing what the husband is going through like Mike and what his wife is going through as a spouse that hurts because her husband hurts and can't do anything to help him feel better. Lots of prayers going to them.
Then another couple in my church, his father was placed in Hospice a little over a week ago. While my heart goes out to this couple, I really feel for his mother because her spouse is no longer receiving curative care but receiving comfort care. That's really rough to hear those words and I cannot begin to imagine what it was like for Mike or my friend's father to hear those words and realize what they meant - for them. I just know how devastated I was to hear those words for Mike. So again prayers are being sent to my friends and family during this time.
The highlight this afternoon was seeing the sun start to shine - that's always a good sign :)
