For the handful of you who read these pages… If you read yesterday, you know. I spoke to my sister this morning. I thanked her. Gratitude. I woke up this morning in my own bed. I was alive and in one piece. Yes, there are titanium screws in my spine but so what? My dog was curled up at my side. My beautiful wife was asleep next to me. My children slumbered in their beds. I have a home, a life, a family. And I shed a tear of thanksgiving. She saved my life that night. Because of her I am here. And the life I live is because she did what she did.
You never know what God has in store for you – whether it be to do something great or to do something heroic so that someone somewhere generations removed can do something great.
I didn’t get to her grave this year. Next year is 45 years. I will plan on that.
This is… a tough week for us.
Mother of Good Counsel, pray for us!
