  Hello my darling,

  Do you recall the team of intercessors who committed themselves to pray for us every day from the time of your diagnosis until you were welcomed home into heaven? Well, earlier this past week, I happened upon the folder in which I had kept copies of the correspondence we sent out each week to that team with our prayer requests and reports on how we were doing.

  Now, hold on to that observation for a moment while I mention something else.

  On many occasions I said to you that I could not begin to imagine trying to live life without you. It didn’t matter what aspect of our life together I considered, my mind couldn’t (wouldn’t?) picture what that life would look like.

  Sometimes when I was sitting alongside your bed and you were resting, I would stroke and touch your arm, realising that in the near future I would no longer be able to do that. My mind could not accommodate that prospect.

  Now, linking those two thoughts together…..

  Here we are 7+ months on the other side of that separation that I so dreaded  - “Til death do us part”- and I’m daily being sustained by the continuing prayers of our intercessors. One couple reminded me this week that they continue daily to pray for me and my healing even though that team no longer exists.

  I have no other explanation for my ability to wake up each morning, look across at your empty bed, know that your absence is permanent yet I can walk into every day knowing that I will be upheld by what you and I called “grace for the day” – Grace = the empowering presence of God, enabling me to be all that He has called me to be and to do all that He has called me to do. I just love that definition!!

  I’ll write again soon

  But Until Then

  You remain the love of my life

  Mike
