Home going OK...The IV is a time consumer, but still so glad to have sweet Becky home.. OK, a little truth serum. Ready? Part of this journey has indeed sucked...sorry to be so like teenage blunt...But it has, and I know many of you are perhaps chuckling at the 'duhness factor' of this revelation.. And as many of you know, we have always tried to express the positive in the blogosphere..but there's just no gettin' around saying that some days have just plain ol' sucked, and just sucked the life out of ya.. But if one reads only two or three blog postings, you can see our Christian faith threaded throughout. And yes, this indeed does keep us looking toward the positive. But God knows our heart, soul and mind, and He knows some days or moments we are just gonna say, 'this sucks'. Again, forgive the street language but some days, chronic illness can just indeed be a 'ball and chain' walk. Not necessarily today, for today was a good day..and again, just having Becky home has been good. And YES!, We still remain hopeful and positive for the future..But I was talking with a long time woman of faith, and she said, 'some days, ya just have to say this sucks'..and so, I said it now in the blog..But, I can't help but end on the note of how this illness has surfaced some of the absolute best moments in our lives..and I mean it. To name a few: Strength beyond capability, compassion deeper that imagined, focus, clarity, LOVE and respect more than otherwise may not have been felt or seen. So yes, there have been the truly 'sucky' days and nights,along with the truly wonderful days.. and we still cling to hope, we still pray when we have the strength, and we still love each other, and we love God. Yeah, just good simple statements that resonate within the maze of our world..
Much Love to you all..and we mean it..
Bill, Becky & Abbey..

This blog reminds me of the line, it was the best of times and it was the worst of times! Isn't life like that sometimes! Yes the depth allows you to also experience the mountain top, but sometimes we just want sea level!
ReplyDeleteHere's to the Aloha moments in our every day lives this week, the little things we can take joy in! Loving the fact that your family is reunited and together, stay tight! We are praising God for HIS FAITHFULNESS TO US!
Fabulous news and I am so thrilled for you. Yes I know it comes with its care taking challenging times and energy but the energy and love Becky receives from you is better than the hospital room and care and will give her the mental attitude to keep pushing through. Love you all and so glad to hear of this latest progress.

As woman of bluntness, I appreciate every single positive note and now each and every blunt %$&*@#. It is what makes the Good days so great. We are hoping and praying with you that there will be so many more of the days that make the Sun shine so much more shinier. Job certainly knew the dark days and he , like you, did not hide the pain.
ReplyDelete"Lord , Give Bill a deep satisfation that you are in control of all their days. Give Becky strength, patience, wisdom, healing and encouragement. Show Abbey that she is precious and beautiful and called to a great purpose. We pray in Jesus 's name. Amen"
