We were blessed to spend the evening with a beautiful family of friends last night, to share a meal, laughter, and love. It was a much needed distraction from the heaviness that surrounds us lately, and we were so thankful for the time. (Tom, Sylvia, Aleksander, Danielle, and KiKi... from the bottom of our hearts, "Thank You!")
We are savoring each moment, talking of things we never thought we'd be talking about, and saying so much to each other with just a glance or a light touch. Hundreds of words in an instant. Amazing.
The love and prayers and support from our friends and family have been something so awesome to experience. In the quiet alone times when the tears just seem to form without warning, they are quickly, miraculously, dried away, and instead of being washed in anquish, we are washed in peace.
We'll let you know the time of the surgery as soon as we find out... most likely on Wednesday. And I will keep you posted on the surgery and recovery thereafter.
Three days. An eternity and an instant.
In Love and In Peace,
Cheri (and Rob) ♥
Hello Rob and Cheri,
ReplyDeletePlease know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers, and that I send all of my best wishes your way. Rob, I think it's been literally decades since we last saw each other. I was looking forward to seeing you this past summer at my dad's, and was sorry when you couldn't make it. The story of how the two of you loved, lost and found each other again is sweet and heartening.
Much love,
your cousin Jenny
We continue to hold you both in our prayers. We are nervous for you but at the same time very hopeful and are looking for you to get a clean bill of health. It may be a "long and winding road" ahead but we're sure you'll travel it in style. We love you!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck and we'll see you soon!!
Love,
Pat and Carol
