Neverending MBRO memory thread

I hope this doesn’t hit wrong (I frequently suffer from foot-in-mouth disease...)

Any one of us could die tomorrow- hit by a bus, struck by falling blue ice from a plane, a sudden heart attack, you name it. But nearly all of us go along, fat, dumb, and happy, never thinking that we won’t be around for decades with everything chugging along nicely.

One silver lining, however faint, of carrying a serious health diagnosis is that you can’t take things for granted, and maybe that means that you can decide to appreciate every moment as it happens, tell people you love them every time you see them, truly stop and smell the roses every time you have the chance.

Life is precious, and you never know how long you get to experience it. Grab every moment as it occurs, and live it to the fullest.

Prayers for Tiffany and April and all of us as we wander like droopy-diaper toddlers down the road of what we call Life. 🙏🏻 ❤️

I get it, and I say that often. When she's said something about "not living lobg enough", I tell her I could drop dead tomorrow. We don't know, and I agree it makes you appreciate every moment.

Yeah, my wife will never be normal either. It's looking like after this covid she may have to be on oxygen now.

I know all of us are sick of the expression "new normal," but there are times we just have to adapt. My wife will never have her strength back after her ordeal several years ago, and if she gets the covid, I just don't know how we can handle it. In trying to process all that happened to her, her doctor thinks she now has developed non-combat PTSD from a long-term medically-induced coma with trach, which totally wiped her out. We have bad days and ok days. We very rarely have what we would have called "good days" before this happened, but in perspective they are all good because God allowed her to survive and blessed us with additional grandchildren. God is good.
