For Now
"How to Save a Life" by The Fray (acoustic)
"Be here now." - Ram Dass
"There will always be time for anguish and disappointment. Don't start swimming in those waters before their time!"
"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" Mathew 6:27
As I sit and think about how amazing my babies are, I realize another invaluable life lesson they have already taught my wife and I.
They have taught us to truly exist in the moment and to put our fears and worries aside. How to deal with the situation that is bringing on anxiety is for another post... but the end result remains: there can be no beneficial result to anxiety and worry.
Each day passes and I believe that each day is a result of a true miracle taking place. The fact is we weren't supposed to get this far. Once things started to turn, the doctors were very pessimistic... they never ruled out the possibility of holding on, but they certainly could not hide their deep and profound concern.
But I feel - deep in my heart - my kids communicating with us. I feel them telling Michele and I "Mommy and Daddy we are ok... we are going to be ok... no matter what we will be ok." Their lives already have so much purpose and the love they have been surrounded by from the VERY START is something to behold. Not just from Michele and I, but from family, friends and even people we have never met. Every parent's dream is to protect their children from harm and provide for them a life of unconditional love free of struggle, pain and heartache.
And that is EXACTLY what Savannah and Graham have had.
And for that, we are truly blessed and thankful.
