Dear Paula,
I read your letter this evening to your friends and family about how the appointment went yesterday with the Oncologist. It stopped me in my tracks to read that you are starting Chemo tomorrow. I think for the first time it has really became reality for me, my heart is aching for you. I find myself really overwhelmed with sorrow and tears.
I think it is fairly normal to never think about your parents humanity. I think we all think of our parents as super human somehow, untouchable. I think I have sort of been in denial about your cancer, you are my Mom nothing is ever going to happen to you.
I am sad tonight, I want to give you a hug and a kiss and hear you whisper a little prayer into my ear the way you do with such tender love.
Tonight, can I whisper a little prayer into your ear..
Dear Heavenly Father,
In all your infinite mighty glory and intimate tender loving grace. Take hold of my Mom and be her Abba Father. May she feel YOUR untouchable, unchangeable love and power covering her and giving her strength for the coming days and months ahead. Pave the way tomorrow and send your spirit to be a bright beacon of hope. We entrust you with her and have confidence that you know the way and will lead the doctors and specialist. You are so much bigger than this cancer and we rest in You..
In Jesus name,
Amen
I love you so much and desperately wish I could take this from you. You are so brave and strong and I admire you with all my heart. Feel our love with you tomorrow.
Xo,
Rebekah
