Poor Mary Jane

Last night was rough ... Not for me, but the poor little old lady sharing the room with us. I don't know exactly what happened to her, but she has started getting worse. She pulls out her IV all the time (even with nuts on) and has some major neurological issues. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well either.

The just took Steph to ore-op. I'm in the waiting room so I can see her one last time before she goes into surgery.

God, please be with my wife today. Keep her strong and guide her surgeon's hands. Allow me to grow old with her, like we promised each other 10 years ago this May. Let her know that I will always love her. Keep her embraced in you loving arms, and allow all of the prayers and love of our friends and family fill her and help her and strengthen her.

God, also please be with Mary Jane. She has been mostly alone since I've known her, and hope that you will help her heal and return to her family.

Amen.

Hello!

The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? Proverbs 20:24

This blog is a document of our family life. It began with an intent to document our journey on our move to Seattle, Washington, but it lives on to capture our lives in Newtown, PA.

With every adventure we are reminded that our steps are momentary and yet leave a great impression. We didn't know we would end up here and we don't know what God has in store for us next, but we do know who carries us and who paves the way.

Pie and Gravy have long been the sweet nicknames for our children and in times of transition we will always draw near to the moments of joy that we cherish. Thanks for being on this journey with us.
