Even though I wish the tragic event that happened to t (Bob) never happened, I have made so many friends across the country, most of whom I never met. Bob has told me a lot of stories. I feel like I have already met you, but actually have not. Some day, I'm sure I will meet each one of you personally on much nicer circumstances.
Today, t is on the up-swing. His shunt surgery went well. The swelling on his head has significantly decreased. He gave me a kiss again and when I wasn't holding his hand, he searched for it to hold. The nurse was happy to see this behavior, because he wasn't responding too much to her. She said she could tell he was happy to see me.
Prayer for Bob by P
aster Daryl:Eternal God, you know us through and through, you know our needs even when we can’t speak them. Touch Bob with your grace and presence. As you give him your abiding care, assure him of our love and presence. Assure him that our communion together remains secure, and that your love for him is unfailing. In Christ, who came to us, we pray. Amen.
