It has been a long week.
Please be thinking of my dad who will be having his kidney removed on Thursday. We found out just last Monday that he has kidney cancer - specifically, a very large tumor in his kidney. We hope that this surgery will remove all cancer cells and return him to good health.
We lost my cousin Skyler three years ago. I have no idea how three years have passed, yet they have. I think about him this week and the gift he was to those who loved him.
My grandmother went into the hospital this week also. My sweet, sweet grandmother will probably not be back at the assisted living center we just moved her and my Grandpa into. Her care-needs are growing and the Alzheimers is really taking its toll.
I have our wedding and Christmas on the brain too - information overload. Jewelee can tell you that I haven't been completing full sentences this week... or words... and I came into work with my shirt on inside-out today... thank goodness she knows I am completely overwhelmed mentally. haha
Tonight I took a bubble bath with my favorite calming ipod playlist... and it really calmed me down. Have you ever heard this song? Years ago a friend had this playing when you pulled up her blog. I used to pull up her blog just to hear it. Tonight it brought me the comfort I needed.
"I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming."
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8

My thoughts are with you and your family. I pray your dad's surgery goes well!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a lot going on. I'll be thinking of you and your family. I hope all goes smoothly and you get good news after your dad's surgery!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about your family. I hope all goes even better than expected and that all you get is good news for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family, Paige!
ReplyDeleteMy family just moved my grandma into a nursing home yesterday...after almost 3 years of my grandpa, dad, aunts, and uncles giving her 24/7 care out of the home. But it just got to be too much for my 85 year old grandpa to physically deal with. His physical health is deteriorating and I think he realized he couldn't keep going on like that...but I know it broke his heart to move her out of the house.
I'm praying for you...that your dad's surgery will go well tomorrow and that, with everything you have going on, you can find a way to calm your heart.
And that's about as sappy as I'm going to allow myself to be. You know I love you!!!
Paige....WOW. Your family has such a special place in my heart... Please know you and them will be having many thoughts and prayers sent that way. {{{Many more HUGS my dear friend}}}BTW~Beautiful song!!!
