Your Dying Spouse 589 - I'm So Tired

I'm just so tired now. More tumours, and they HURT.

Every step is uphill, and breath comes in gasps. I used to sing to the dogs...no longer. Just can't do it.

I want to curl up on the floor, crawl into God's lap and cry in His Embrace. I'm so done.

Well, not really.

The days are sunken, now so hard
to move, to breathe, to live,
and my chest so tumour-marred;
there's little left to give.
Now's the time to court despair,
now's the time for tears;
Oh, dear God, please take me where
You'll heal these ill-starred years!
But now, behold, a sudden breeze
the flags snap in the dawn;
Hope bids me rise from bloody knees
and Faith says, "Boy, keep on."
This may be life's dying light
but I have not yet begun to fight.

Music from Trapt, with Bring It. A bit of audio espresso.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.

    Rest until you are ready to move on.
    You will know when that is.

      He is the Living Hope of my days. It's very hard, but that's OK. I'm not alone.

  3. You're still here for a reason - maybe the way you inspire all of us.

  5. I wish to write encouraging words to you but I'm at a loss. You've been valiant through every crises. A couple of years ago I thought you wouldn't make it much longer and here you are, still fighting, and still carrying on and making a difference. It's remarkable and beautiful. Life is beautiful. The suffering doesn't change that. May God bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you.

      By all rights, yes, I should be dea, but something keeps me going. Breath comes hard, movement comes hard, but my heart still soars.

      I figure I owe this to the people wholove me.

      People like you.

      I am so grateful.
