Journal entry by Brenda Russell —
Tomorrow will be A YEAR since I went into the ER and had a ride on Life Flight…
In some ways, it just seems like a bad dream …
But it can’t be changed.. it DID happen. Still.. because it has turned out quite well and I’m alive for whatever reason, there may be some things I’m more grateful for than I would’ve been otherwise. And perhaps other things too. Idk.. it’s kind of hard to put a finger on, but we have talked about this. If I hadnt gotten sick, would we be the same as we are now? Do we maybe have a different perspective on life and things we always took for granted?
Think of all the people who touched my life in one way or another.. all my caregivers. They each had a place to fill and I appreciate them all so much!
One of my family reminded me today that Dal (my bro) had prayed back then that God would heal me far beyond our expectations..& He certainly did!
