One day I will write my
autobiography and the title will be “I Made Plans, God Laughed”.
Everyone experiences
unexpected events, some frightening and some surprising. In the past few weeks
my family has been dealing with a frightening health emergency, we’ve pulled
together in love and support. I find myself pleasantly surprised at the
strength and resourcefulness of each member of the immediate family. Extended
family and close friends have also surrounded us with positive energy which has
encouraged and bolstered our hearts.
During the first nights
we were enveloped in fear, the fear that comes from not knowing what comes
next. As the days went on, with the help of prayer and the knowledge of medical
professionals, we were able to regroup and make plans. We found a place for our
loved one to recuperate, rehabilitate and, God willing, eventually return home.
It’s a wonderful thing to
be surrounded by family and loving friends when your need is great and you feel
lost. I truly believe in the power of positivity — positive thinking and positive
actions lead to better outcomes. We truly appreciate all the good wishes,
concern and prayers sent in our direction.
We know that there is a
long road ahead and we are hoping for a full recovery. This unexpected emergency
will forever change all of our lives making us more appreciative of loved ones
and good friends, and of course more aware of the need to take better care of ourselves.
Never miss a moment to
tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, life changes quickly. I
consider myself very lucky to still be able to say how much I care. I will be
selfish enough to ask for the comfort of your continued prayers and good
wishes.
May the rest of 2017 find
you all, and your loved ones, in good health, surrounded by the warmth of love
and friendship.
