A New Life...A New Disease
My husband thought that this is a strange day. Well, the coincidence of schedules is a little bit odd—we got to hear our second child's heartbeat for the first time, and on the other end, my mother-in-law is undergoing a breast cancer surgery. It was a celebration of a miracle growing inside of me, and at the same time, a moment of restlessness from worrying on someone very dear to our hearts.
My husband didn't go to sleep until two in the morning (I think). At one o'clock, when nature woke me up, I noticed that he was not on bed. I went and checked the living room and he was there, reading a book in his Kindle Fire. He said he didn't feel sleepy at all. I knew that something was bothering him inside. I had a suspicion what it was, but wanted to hear it straight from him.
My intuition was right—Mom. He's very worried. He got more concerned after Mom told him about the complications of the surgery. He's worried about Dad. He knows how much he loves her. Telling me the things that disturbs him made me become more worried too—they are my family. Seeing my husband in trouble makes me vulnerable. We had an emotional moment last night.
This afternoon he called and told me that Mom's surgery was successful and is now resting in their home. She will still be undergoing various tests later. Praise to our God the Healer who was there to take good care of her during the surgery. The best thing we could do is prayer. It's beyond our control. Only Him knows what is to come. I am certain that Mom will be healed and get to enjoy to the fullest her grand kids.
