One year ago today....
I thought my world was going to end. Aaron came home from having an ultrasound and as he walked in the door he was on the phone with the Dr. You know when they call you that soon with the results, it's not a good thing. I was terrified and he looked at me with a forced and fearful smile and gave me the thumbs down. I was the most scared I had ever been, or probably ever will be (at least i hope). My world came crushing in. Things like that only happen to OTHER people.
The next day was the appointment with the surgeon, followed by surgery the next day, a Saturday. We were the only ones in that part of the hospital. It was a ghost town. The few people that were there were there only on our behalf. To get the cancerous tumor out of my husband as soon as possible.
We all know that it all turned out well NOW, but I didn't know that one year ago today. Thoughts of losing Aaron consumed me, but I tried to be strong, for him and for the baby that was inside of me.
Sometimes life throws curve balls, we can't always avoid. But there's ways to find peace and comfort, through prayer and faith and that is what pulled me through and got me to this day..... one year later, with a healthy husband.
I'm quite emotional today. I can't stop thinking about that devastating day, and then my thoughts are followed by tears.... all tears of gratitude.
We are stronger.
I love him even more.
