Fake Out
You know that 2.5 second feeling you have when you very first wake up in the morning? The feeling that everything is normal and the way it should be? Then, you really wake up and the realization that everything is definately NOT normal smacks you like a brick to the face. It happened the first few mornings after Gary deployed to Iraq. It happened this morning. My baby Luke has spinal cord damage. He needs surgery that may or may not help him. I sit here in tears over the pain, confusion, and frustration he's going to have to endure after this surgery. If I could have this surgery for him... if I could just somehow give him my healthy bones. It wouldn't take a second thought. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Life just isn't fair.

Oh, Amy...my heart hurts so badly for you guys. I have no words to adequately offer you; just know that Phillip and I are praying for you guys and we love you and God loves you. If I could give Luke anything, I would do it in a heartbeat. If I could take away all your pain and confusion, I would. But, I have to give you, Luke and Gary over to God because I am helpless in this situation and it's nearly killing me. But I know He is the ultimate healer, the ultimate peace-giver, the ultimate caretaker. Please rest in Him and know that you are loved so much. I wish I could take all this from you and put it on me. I love you. My whole heart is with you; my prayers are never ceasing for you.
