In God's Hands
Tomorrow's my surgery. I'm not quite sure how I'm feeling about it. I'm nervous, but at the same time some stuff has happened to put my small lump into perspective.
You see, today I learned that a good family friend, whom we refer to as "Aunt" Audrey, has a tumor in her sinuses. My mom said she is reminded of 4 years ago when Gramma was first taken to the hospital. And if was 3 months later Gramma passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. It was very sad to see her go. Aunt Audrey, while having always been close, became even closer to us when Gramma passed. She has become sort of a surrogate grandmother. Gramma was going to come visit us and was going to make a quilt with mom's new sewing machine. Because she was sick, she was unable to visit, and thus couldn't make the quilt. So when I went to AK for the memorial service, I picked out some fabric and Aunt Audrey made the quilt for me. That quilt means a lot to me, as does Aunt Audrey.
So as I think about my surgery for tomorrow, I'm a little nervous, and a little concerned for the very slight chance of a bad outcome, overall I'm at peace with my situation and I'm putting it in God's hands.
I'm sad for Audrey as well, but praying for her and am also trying to put my sadness in God's hands.

Today was the day of your surgery. Was it day surgery? Did you get to come home? How are you doing?
Your "Aunt" Audrey sounds so very special. Spend time with her now, then there will be fewer regrets when she goes--and even more great memories to treasure.
