Recovery continues, not only for Dad but Mom and me as well. She admits to still crying every night. Everyday annoyances and daily details are still a challenge. Keeping it all together is wearing us both down. Recovery for stroke patients can take up to 2 years. I think for the family as well. A stroke not only attacks the victim's brain but the victim's and family's body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. Without scripture, prayers, and journaling....well, not only would I not be writing this but I would also not be here. Space is needed. Time is necessary. Hope is eternal.
alone
coming unglued
no where to hide
except in Thee oh Lord
desperate
breaking apart
lost and confused
except with Thee oh Lord
spent
emotionally paralyzed
blind and mute
except to Thee oh Lord
vacant
completely empty
failing helplessly
no net to catch me
except You oh Lord
