Relapse is a part of this process. It is a part that hurts. I feel like I did after my first c section and soon to have my second one. The feelings of dread and the fatigue of the pain return to me in memorable waves. Today I sit here and write the words quickly for fear that if I wait, I will lose the courage to write them. I want to be honest. Honesty is my defense against the devil. Honesty and prayer.
I'm waiting on a call from a rehab facility because they are checking my insurance benefits. I wait in numbed prayerful silence. I've begun a novena to St. Jude today. How ironic that it began today. Our Lord is compassionate.
Today I am thankful for a loving God. I am thankful for paid insurance. I am thankful for good friends. I pray for healing and recovery for my son. I say a prayer for all of your children and I ask a prayer for the soul of Henry.
