THE HOUSE FEELS EMPTY

 

I have absolutely loved having my younger son Mark here for a full week.

We have talked fast and furious... ran many errands... and accomplished some

"need to be done" things around the house.



Now the house feels empty.

Mark had to return home to go back to work

And Dave is still in the Care facility until he can be a bit more mobile.

No weight bearing for at least another 4 weeks.

Physical Therapy , and just fun things like learning to get out of the hospital bed and into 

a wheelchair.

But you know...God is good...I have wonderful friends and family.

We will get through this and come out the other side Stronger.

ONE DAY AT A TIME !

Your whole family continues to be held near & dear to my heart. It must be so difficult.

I am so sorry, seems he has a bit to go before coming home. But the P.T. will be making him stronger by the day!

I know this is hard for you and I do understand . I also like seeing your positive attitude . One day at a time sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you.

Like the song, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but it is no fun taking that path to stronger... it sure doesn't help that this happened during a pandemic.. hugs and love coming your way

Oh Sue, it must feel very lonely now with Mark bone, and Dave still in rehab. One day at a time sweet Jesus. He is holding you with His mighty right hand. Think of you often and pray thatt soon Dave will be able to be mobile enough to come home. You should probably hang a stesascope around your neck as you will be his full time nurse. Might at well look the part!..Keep your sense of humor, and experience the Joy of the Lord as your strength! Love you tons!!

I can imagine that only too well.
Prayers for you and Dave that the time passes quickly.
Where would we be without Jesus and our friends?

I totally get the "house feels empty" . Glad you have friends etc., and they will help I'm sure. i'm getting kind of use to that empty feeling - Mike has been gone for the most part for two plus months while my son's knee surgery heals. He comes home here and there but I found I've got my own routine going so I welcome him home as a guest and when he leaves I tell him I hope he enjoyed his stay, lol..kind of like a hotel.

All the best to you and Dave and I hope his healing comes along really good.
