Ginger Day 8

I called Ginger today to check and see how she is doing, not much changed since our visit on Wednesday. I know that progress and recovery is one day at a time. Doctors do believe that she may achieve an 80% brain function recovery, perhaps within the next 3-4months. But how can that even begin to allow her to return to work as a registered nurse, that financially supported her family?

Life doesn't always go according to our plans, God is the only one that can see the entire picture. Ginger has always been the caregiver and the queen enabler for her entire family. Now it is their time to do the same for their wife and mother.

Ginger and Bobby have been married for close to 4 decades and like most marriages they have had their good times and bad times. When I visited on Wednesday I did see something between the two of them that I hadn't seen in years, the look of love that I saw as they looked at one another was so magnified with intense passion. Thanks to God for the restoration of love between my best friend and her husband.

Granted recovery will be one day at a time, but, their love for one another has risen to a new depth.

Of course I prayed with Ginger, but I must admit praying now reminds me of my mother and her life with Alzheimer's. Ginger is alive and on the other end of the phone but I miss her so!

Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Thanks to God for my lasting love and friendship with Ginger!
