Anyone close to me knows this week has been tough. With the traumatic accident hurting families near and dear to me, it's been a challenge emotionally and spiritually. My best friends from college are all descending upon the beautiful city of Albany, but for a reason none of us had planned. A young man was hurt in a rodeo accident and suffered a brain injury. As he still "sleeps" it's a all too familiar feeling watching sisters, mothers, brothers, friends and a beautiful young wife try to stay together and face this huge obstacle before them.
Oddly enough, three roomies from college and best friends who haven't seen each other in years have been hugging, smiling and seeing each other again for the first time within the hallways outside of the ICU at Albany Med.
It's scary not knowing the outcome, knowing that only God has the answers and we merely have to abide in the knowledge that He has the control and not us. We have to understand that there may not be understanding right now and that the questions are enumerable. But faith binds us together, a family ravaged by a tragedy is emerging strong in the Lord and though it's not the reunion we had planned, we are all in it together. Miles have melted away this week, distance is a stranger, crisis demands attention....And together... we pray for Graham.
