Heart's Desire

What a day! Dad had his surgery today for the PEG-tube and it went very well. The surgeon was very pleased with the outcome. I was able to see him in the recovery room and he opened one eye and looked at me and then promptly went back to sleep. I know he won't remember that I was there, but I know.

We still don't know how much he remembers because he cannot stay awake long enough, or speak long enough, for us to know. When I spoke to him yesterday, I heard him whisper, "I want more time." I said, "I want more time with you too." He then said, "I pray.... more time." It was very faint... very hesitant. I don't know if he understood what all was going on but he said to me he wanted more time. I just held his hand as the tears ran down my face. I didn't want to cry out loud because I didn't want to upset or confuse him.

I know that God hears the desires of our hearts and today he heard my dad's.

Thank you all for your prayers.
