1/20/27

Kathleen threw up again yesterday but appears to be doing a bit better. This Saturday has an eerie feel to it nearly three years after Kathleen's cardiac arrest. Sitting here looking at pictures of a young, vibrant, beautiful woman from just a few years ago, it is still hard to imagine what has happened to Kathleen and our family. Hope, once our sole remaining commodity appears more like fools gold everyday...leaving very little behind....except hugs from my daughter (which I just got).

Kathleen is a beautiful woman. Thinking of you.

I know where you are coming from, but without hope, what do we have? My son, Jeffrey, is much the same as Kathleen, except my son cannot see either. He has three beautiful children who have a very difficult time even talking to their daddy because he can only respond in blinks and cannot enjoy their functions. I pray everyday for Kathleen, among many others with similar circumstances. I pray for her and Jeffrey and others to be healed. I pray for God's miracles to be given to us. That super gift from our Heavenly Father. I know we have been given a miracle already (the fact that Jeffrey and Kathleen are still with us), but I want more. I know where you are. Jeffrey's anoxic brain injury began 8/27/04. Sometimes when I am alone, I will shout, Oh God, HEAL MY SON!!!. PLEASE GOD, LET ME TRADE OFF WITH JEFFREY. " My heart aches with and for you. God is good .... all the time. In His love,
