The Lord is good

Well as many of you and many of you don't know, my Dad had a ruptured appendix last Tuesday. So we've been in the hospital all week until today. It was very scary at first, especially not knowing what was going on with his body and why he was writhing in pain. But thank the good Lord, it was only his appendix and not a heart attack or even worse. It's been hard this past week to stay upbeat and to stay focused on getting him better. I would have given absolutely anything to take the pain away from him. I would have gladly traded places with him just to see him back to his normal self. All I could think of was not having him there on June 20 to walk me down the aisle. But he's doing better. And we hope that God will continue to heal his body so that we don't have to go back to the hospital again. Please keep your prayers alive though, we're not out of the clear yet. He still has a long journey to being completely well, which includes taking insulin shots until we can control his blood sugar with diet and exercise.

That's all that's been going on in our lives for the past week. Just trading shifts of sitting with him and helping him get around. Many thanks to the friends of my parents who came and sat with us, prayed for us, and visited him the past few days. The world is a different place when you have good friends. Thanks to my friends too who have been praying and calling. It's hard to imagine my life without friends and especially without my Dad. I don't know if I could go on without him here. He's been such a supporter of me and all my crazy adventures that I've put them through in my 26 years. He's a great Dad. So when you read this, make sure your parents know that you love them. It's going to be a scary place when they're not here anymore.
