DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Kidneys and Rainbows

Rainbows have always been special for us. They have appeared at different and meaningful times. Our whole family was in the car a few days ago, and there was one single dark cloud in the sky, and from it a rainbow smiled at us. It was very special, and very timely. It was as if Heaven was saying, "It is going to be OK."

Henry is going in for his kidney surgery this Thursday. We will be at the hospital for at least a few days. (For more on his kidneys click: HERE.) I anticipate some interesting feelings, but more than anything I anticipate that Charles will be with us during this time. He has not stopped caring about the welfare of his children and family, he watches over us more now than ever. You better believe he will be holding Henry's hand, and comforting him. And he will be with me, and keep me strong. There is this weird part of me that is looking forward to this experience. Maybe it is because I know Charles will be there, at the hospital. It kind of makes me excited thinking about it. I know Henry will be OK. It will be a hard process, but it will turn out alright.


My parents are on their way, driving all the way from Anaheim, California (where they went to Disneyland with my sister's family), and they will be here soon. I have had many friends offer help of every kind. I am not alone. I am never alone, not ever. I am so grateful for that.

Please say an extra prayer for Henry this week. And please say an extra prayer for me, that I can feel strong, and be brave.

    So grateful Mom and Dad are there with you!

    Your faith is strong. The force is with you. You will win this battle.

    With all of Henry's incredible energy, he will endure this procedure well.

    I'm praying for you , Henry, the Drs, Mom & Dad, and the Angels to be present. Peace will prevail.

    I love you sister!

    Hugs and more hugs this week.

    Kary
