i came across this blog post today ... it's been 35 years now since we started this chronic pain walk ...
leo and i are celebrating an anniversary ... sort of ...
it has been 25 years since leo's first back surgery ... 25 years since chronic pain became the "third person" in our marriage ... 25 years of having our hope for health dwindle and the dreams of our youth eliminated ...
YET, it has also been 25 years of learning to love each other unconditionally, despite obstacles which attempted to destroy our marriage ... learning to walk by faith - when human understanding failed ... 25 years of great valleys - and even greater mountain top experiences ...
an anniversary ... sort of ...
* * * * * * *
points from a charles stanley sermon, that also mark the cornerstones of our faith:
- God controls our circumstances
- God will meet our needs
- God is with us
- God loves us with an eternal love ...
what are we worried about?

Oh wow. What a timely post for ME. I'm just contemplating a post about the very subject - not marriage though, but about worrying. Thank you.
From the very beginning I've admired your loyalty and love for Leo, and your unwavering faith. And even during the years we had no contact whatsoever, I always remembered you and the peace that always surrounds you (yes, even through the internet!). Watching ice road truckers driving in Manitoba and thought of your little cottage where you lived in the middle of all the snow, and how you moved to the condo and how that made me a bit sad, because I too loved your cottage! Silly, I know :D Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you've been an inspiration and example for me.
