Being that I had cancer for two years without knowing it, Harrison and I have decided to have yearly check ups and have made sure that we found someone who doesn't take 5 minutes to "diagnose us from across the room." We have made sure also that we feel listened too and all of our concerns, big or small, are delt with and taken seriously.
My poor guy has scared me several times at night while he sleeps. It sounds like he struggles so hard to breath... "has to be sleep apnea." After my diagnosis of lymphoma, we were GOING to get him checked out. He had the sleep study done a few weeks ago and we picked up his mask today.
We so enjoyed the lady who helped us out today. As she was "checking his boxes" on his paperwork she said, "oh you're easy!" "Good thing one of us is healthy!" I joked. And then she went, "Honey let me tell you something. You've got God's extra attention right now because He has to have His hands on you at all times. Isn't that something?"
As we were getting Harrison set up, she asked us, "do you know anyone who has a mask?" We told her of someone we knew who is very dear to us that doesn't go anywhere without their mask.
On our way out the door, she said to us, "I don't know what it is but I feel like I need to tell you to please be praying for your friend." Little does she know, this person we know who also has the mask, has just had their spouse walk out on them and their children. She didn't know that!
We are all God's children. Its crazy to think about the connection sometimes and when God does things like He did today to show us how real that connection is. She is our sister in Christ and He is our father and He is doing a work in us. Amazing.. Just amazing!
