The visitor yells from the other room for help because her
friend has seemingly fallen asleep. Her husband swiftly comes into the room and
gently picks her up and puts her in the wheelchair, takes her to the bedroom,
tests her vital signs and finds they are okay. He lovingly dresses her in her
nightclothes, puts her to bed and
quietly slips out of the room hoping she will be able to get a good night’s rest.
Her health is fragile at best. He spends many long hours at the hospital
encouraging the love of his life to never give up. He goes about his life in
such a quite manner that most people never know all that he does. He spends
time trying to prepare sermons, counseling with parishioners, helping to guide
a stepchild to take the right paths for his life and lovingly giving his wife the
best care he can. In his free time he
tends to his plants and writes articles on Wordcasters.
The preceding incident took place when I was visiting my
daughter and son in law last year. It had such a profound effect on me that it
comes to my mind on many occasions. It showed me about a great love and that it
is possible for human beings to love unconditionally.
The spiritual journey they chose to walk gave them the
opportunity to help enhance many others lives along the way. The bond of their
love had been tried and re tried many times and yet, it only made them grow
stronger in their faith in the Lord and continually renewed their strength in
their journey.
When I think of their lives together I think of 1
Corinthians Chapter 13, verses 4-7.
Dear Marc,
Because of your love and care Michelle knew some of the
happiest times in her life. I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and
care you gave to my daughter I know she would want you to continue your journey
of giving to others and continue to grow in your faith in the Lord. She would want you to live your life to the
fullest and never give up. If she taught us anything it would be to live life
as large as you can and don’t quit.
You are a very special man and I am glad that you are part
of our family.
Linda
