Please pray...and accept my apology
Dear DS friends...
My mom is having open heart surgery tomorrow. They are going to replace her aortic valve and fix an aortic aneurism. I know that God is in control but I feel very emotional. She is the sweetest mom in the world. I am not sure what I would do without her! The surgery will last almost all day so please pray for her and for her surgeon. They will begin at 6 a.m. Also, please pray for my daddy. He is so sweet and it's hard to watch him through this. He seems so vulnerable...and that's never been a word I've used to describe him. Dad's can take care of everything...can't they? I put a picture of my mom and me as my profile pic so you can see who you're praying for. She's 73 and never dyed her hair so she was joking that it will probably turn white after the surgery. My daughters are both very close to my parents. My youngest, Hollie, called me crying a little while ago. She's pregnant so that may be making her even more sensitive. Her baby girl, Hadleigh, is 3 and asked her why she was crying. Hollie told her that she was sad because Grandma Sue had to go to the doctor. Hadleigh hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Mom. She doesn't know where God lives!" Funny how kids perceive what we say to them. I know she's been told her Beepaw went to live with Jesus...I guess Beepaw went because he knew God's address... :)
I want to apologize to those of you who have written or made comments that I haven't responded to. I have had my mind on so much and haven't meant to be uncaring or rude. I appreciate you all and plan to respond to every comment when this surgery is over. Well, I need to go to bed!
Thank you for being my friends...
