We walked in, full of overwhelming excitement. SO SURPRISED!
Mer was on her way out of this dark tunnel, just as we were on our way home.
WHAT A RELIEF!
We sat with her and explained that we had to get back home to our families and jobs.
She couldn't speak any louder than a whisper, but she begged us to PLEASE release her from the wrist restraints. She promised she'd be good!
The only way I could keep myself from crying over her sad, puppy dog eyes was to pull another silly joke out of my hat. We all tried to make up some crazy story why they had her hands bound.
She then begged us to take her with us. OH, MY THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE!
Out of no where God sent a diversion. Courtney, her husband and kids showed up. Yeah! This would make for a much less emotional and lonely departure for Mer.
We each hugged and kissed her goodbye, promising to call as soon as she was up to talking.
That walk back down the corridor that morning was the longest, but then again God had granted us our wish. Mer, our GIFT, was seriously on her way to another successful recovery. AMEN!
For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
Psalm 84:11
Love You Mer
NOTE: There is more to this story which includes Mer's wonderful friends visiting her. In particular the mother of the gentleman who found Mer the day she ended up at the hospital. When we get this in book form I will include that story
