Thank you for your prayers!

This morning was going to be busy as I had set up 5 appointments with the seniors to assist them with their computer needs. I had just finished calling all of them to confirm their appointments when I the phone rang. I just figured it was Olive calling to give me directions one more time…and to probably tell me ONE MORE story :)

Shaun doesn’t call me before 11:30 am. He sends me my morning email telling me that he loves me and thinks I am the best girlfriend that ever was and ever will be, but he doesn’t usually call before his lunch break. He called me this morning and he was ‘driving’ so I knew something was up.

“My dad had a heart attack.”

My heart went into my throat and I thought I was going to instantly burst into tears.

Years ago I read an article about a celebrity that was trying to sell her home and was having a hard time with it. During the painting process she painted in huge words, “Everything is going to be all right!” for some reason, seeing those words haphazardly painted on her wall brought me peace.

During college I had a lot of hard times and I would write those words on my hand.
I was the only girl in my class for two years and the guys knew that I was stressed out beyond belief if they saw me writing on my hand. Sometimes they would walk up to me and grab my hand and look at it to see if things were okay with me.

On this one day I had a classmate come over and take my hand in his and he opened my hand and read it. He said, “Thank you. I needed this today.”
I graduated a semester after he did because of a flunked algebra class I needed to retake, but I still went to his graduation.
He was standing in line trying to get his robe and cap ready and I yelled out his name to let him know I had made it. He smiled and then showed me his hand. He wrote, “Everything is going to be all right!” on the palm of his hand.

Everything is going to be alright with Mr. C . He got to the hospital in the middle of the heart attack. They got him in instantly and began taking care of him. He is now in ICU and not in pain. They will be giving him more tests tomorrow morning and he’ll be in the hospital until they decide how bad the damage is and figure out what to do.

Thank you for your prayers and kind words. If you’re feeling up to it, write those words on your hand for us and when you see it there send another little prayer up again.
