So, I may not be the best at speaking my feelings out loud. BUT I do know that I can always type them out. My dad is currently in a rehab facility to help heal his left side of the brain and body functions (speech, walking, etc.) I believe strongly that he is being healed miraculously. I believe he is a strong person, and he will be like he use to and back to work in no time! The reason he is there right now is because he has been through a stroke that affected the left side of his brain. He had the stroke on my birthday (July 7). I immediately went to see him with my husband, Paul, and we were in the hospital for three hours. Those were the LONGEST three hours of my life! At one point I thought that I had lost him. Everything had stopped, his breathing, his movement, everything on the monitor was blank. My first thought was: This is not happening! I cannot loose my dad! Not even on my birthday! My second thought was: God PLEASE bring him back to me! It is NOT his time to go! Paul and I kept saying his name and come on wake up! Come back to us Chuck/Dad! The next minute was awful, the nurse left and when she came back it was like he woke up from a nap. I was sooo grateful! We left the hospital about an hour after that and finding out that there was no medication or alcohol in his system. Which I already knew was a fact. We went to Jackson and my birthday party with a pinata filled with candy and various party items. About midway through that I just got sad, and with help from my friends and family I slowly felt a little better. The next day, I went to church as usual. I worked in the baby room, hung with friends over lunch, talked with some family members over the phone, and went home with a little worry over my dad. The next few days came by, Monday: my grandma came into Georgia and took over helping my dad. (Thank you from the bottom of my heart! <3) I went into work as usual and about my business. Tuesday: I went into work and said a prayer with a few coworkers. Since then I can honestly say I am no longer worried! My dad is now in God's hands and I completely believe that he WILL be HEALED FULLY! There is not a doubt in my mind about it. I have a few thanks to owe and will continue to say thanks because that's all I can do! Everyone who said they are praying for my dad! Thank you for every prayer, it truly means a lot to me! Laura Jane Flowerree: Thank you for helping me move past my break down! I couldn't have done it with out you! Justin Hodges: Thank you for the texts! I sincerely appreciate that! I almost cried reading it. Forrest and Lexanne: My coworkers, I am really grateful to have you in my life! You two are truly amazing people! That prayer was amazing. Stephanie Benson: You are an amazing woman! Thank you for helping me in my time of need! You are a strong pillar in my life and the bestest friend I could ever ask for. :) Jessica and Rock: You two are amazing!! Thank you for the texts! <3 Thank you all again!! I truly will never be the same again and that's because JESUS is not only with me and strengthening me but he is IN me and will always be there!
