Sad and Depressed Today

I know that lots of time has elapsed since my last post. It just seems
that busyness overtakes me and I want to write, but then sleep takes
over me and... Dang it! It's time to start this old mary-go-round all
over again.

Anyway, the biggest news right now is Chris' thyroid surgery. They
performed a thyroidectomy--taking the thyroid out. Then, they did
autotransplantation--putting a piece of the thyroid back in his
body--his is in his arm. I had never heard of such a thing. My my my,
how medicine has progressed. Anyway, his surgery was Friday. All went
well. God is healing him up totally and fully!

As of Tuesday, which is today, he's still in the hospital. I keep
telling myself that all things will happen in His time. God knows what
is best and at what time. In the meantime, I'm fighting back some
strong emotions of oppression and depression.

You want the truth? Well, here it is... I miss him. I miss his jokes.
He's so good-natured. Never letting life get him down for too long. I
miss his keen sense of observation. I hardly have to say things to him
about myself or my thoughts. He... just seems to know. He actually
knows me much better than I give him credit for. And whether you know
it or not, I can be a trip (but only sometimes... LOL), and he's
patiently there.

Beneath his hard, joking exterior, he has the softest heart. And me?
I'm all about the inside, the stuff that most folks won't stick around
long enough to see.

I'm just missing you today, Chris. I pray that the Lord Jesus
continues your full and quick recovery. God bless you is my prayer.

Love,
Your wife
