For better, for worse, Post #3, another day at the clinic

There is the sweetest married couple here.   They are young.  Got married right out of college.  Married at twenty something years old.   Cute couple.  Unfortunely, the husband is dealing with stomach cancer.  Don't quote me but it's not the stomach organ.  It's in the abdomianl cavity somewhere.

He is 37 years young.  He just celebrated a birthday while I was here and they asked me to sing happy birthday while someone else carried a few balloons in. 

As a result of his condition,  he cannot eat.  He has a tube through his nose I think. He gets nutrients through another source other than his mouth.   Really rough.

His wife is extremely pleasant and is with him all the way.   I have never in my life seen such commitment and love.   She asks all the questions to the doctor.  Knows his medication schedule.  Meets his every need.  I crochet while in treatment,  so often times I am quiet and I can hear the conversations. By the way,  i have made some cuuuute hats.

I am here by myself and i am in awe of that support and deep unconditional love.  For better or for worse.   They don't know this but,  I pray for them everytime i see them.    i wish there was something I could do for them.   

Sometimes you think you have it rough but there are people would be glad to walk in your shoes exactly as they are.   God still has him in the palm of his hands, but how many of you could endure this and still keep your head up.

Pray for others, and help while you can and count your blessings.   Pray for this couple now.  God knows who you are talking about.

I just found out yesterday that he died.   It was a shock to me.   I have been praying for his recovery, but he died.  I am saddened deeply by the news.   Please send an encouraging comment.  
Peace, Love and God bless,
