As I type this up, I am about 7 hours away from the next chapter of my life; life without Ned. I had to apologize for stealing this Mother's Day from my wife as we were focused on getting packed and to Houston. Throughout this entire journey, nearly 2 months now since learning of Ned the Paraganglioma, Melanie has been my tangible source of strength and optimism. Sure, it is our faith that sustains the both of us, but witnessing and receiving that eternal Love through my marriage and from my best friend has literally been the remedy from a mind wandering to dark and depressing places. My wife has been an anchor for me that has inspired intrepid faith and a deepening love like nothing I could have ever imagined and would struggle capturing in word. As a response to some terrible news, only the best has resulted. To my wife, Melanie, I owe everything.
Thank you, everyone, for your continued prayers and support. As I sit here typing my final post for a little while, tears of anticipation and joy are streaming down my face. I am overwhelmed by my faith community, many of whom I don't even know personally and may never have a chance to thank. You are all thought of in prayers of gratitude daily.
Tomorrow, as I count backwards from 10 as the anesthesia begins to work,
my wife's smiling face and loving voice will be occupying my mind's
eye. Once I awake from this procedure, my wife's beautiful smiling face
and loving voice will welcome me back to life. I can't wait. God is
good.
