It has been a very difficult fall for me with David so very sick. I often felt depressed and angry. It wasn’t supposed to go this way in my mind! David was supposed to be almost better, and though we had all changed and grown through the experience, life was supposed to get back on track now. Well, it didn’t go that way. He suffered so intensely and there was so little anyone could do. I was exhausted and I am told I looked ‘gaunt’. I wondered why so many peoples’ prayers seemed to be bouncing off the ceiling.
David is slowly getting stronger now but is still suffering a great deal. Not much has really changed from that perspective. But I am feeling much better- and I was told today at work that I am suddenly looking much better! I think that is partly because I have had a great deal of support and prayer from others over the last couple of weeks- I can feel the difference- and I am ready to listen to God now. I no longer need to be angry and depressed.

David’s commentary
The picture to the left was taken in November by Kristine – the view from in front of our house was spectacular. The sunset went through about 6 distinct phases, including this combination of mauve, rose, and purple hues ( I really have no idea if the colours are correctly labelled – I am a guy, of course). Today was an interesting day…. Kristine took me to get my hair cut (first time in almost 5 months!), then she decided to go all risky on us and got a totally different hair style. Catherine and Erin spent the whole evening today commenting on it. It actually looks pretty good. I pointed out that I could have had my hair cut 3 times for the price of her hair style – evidently not the right thing to say (I failed the pre-marriage counselling course). Kristine has been very busy being on call 24 hours a day for mental health at the hospital. Last night the pager shattered the silence just before midnight and again just after 6 a.m. Never boring around here 😉
