Answer to prayer--the respiratory guy called to say that the respiratory doctor wants to see Tom ahead of the July 28th appointment so Tuesday at 4:00 we'll meet him at UW. We also heard from Option Care--they will have the BiPap machine for us on Wednesday. The request for the talking machine (need to find out what they are actually called) has been sent to PA--hoping to hear back from them soon.
Tom has been busy tackling a new puzzle. I am missing his voice today--just want to hear him talk to me--to share like we have for all these years, taking it so much for granted. I'm also missing his strong arms around me.
Old friends who we had not seen in a very long time stopped by yesterday and were a huge encouragement. It was fun to reminisce (sp??? where is spell check when you need it???) It was a good reminder to not put off spending time with special people.
Today we celebrated granddaughter Katie's 19th birthday at Queen Mary's Tea Room in Seattle--3 generations together. What joy she brings to our family!
It's hard to write tonight for some reason. This week I have been waking up feeling like we are in the eye of the storm--turbulance behind and great uncertainty ahead. Then I realized that it was really God's peace in the midst of this trial and it really is new every morning. While I have every confidence it will remain throughout it really is fresh and new with each day--kind of a surprise that it's still there, a sense of awe and wonder that such a thing can be--that He cares so much and is so good to be so faithful even to us.

Hi Cath! Hi Tom!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your thoughts today. It made me think of a conversation I had with our grandaughter recently. We were talking and cell phones came up. Needless to say I am behind the times BUT I was able to tell her about a VERY important (at least to me) use for my cell phone. I keep messages saved that I have received over the last couple of years from all the people I love and have left a message.She was surprised when I let her hear her message to me. She called the next day knowing I would be at work and not able to answer my phone. She left me a new message for "keeps" that she liked a lot better (I kept them both). Funny how these messages bring such a big smile when I replay them on occasion. I only regret I don't have Tom's voice to hear.
As always,
love and prayers,
Dee
