I took Olivia to McDonald’s for breakfast to meet a bunch of her friends before their first day of school yesterday. Giggling excitement filled the restaurant! It was kind-of surreal to sit and watch all of the “normalcy” of life when I knew that Nick had left for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital with Tim, my mom, and Evan just minutes after we left for McDonald’s. But for Olivia’s sake I try to keep some things as normal as possible. We had a nice time and Olivia had a great first day of school! So did Todd!
Nick’s appointment went well. We are still waiting for Nick’s surgeon and oncologist to talk before we can make some big decisions. Thank you for every prayer as we wait.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
