Miracle's do happen....

Monday evening and Lorrie is medicated to the max to mask the pain. Although one would like to think that being that medicated you would be not able to communicate, but she will raise her eyelids and jump right in there to join our conversations. She always wants to be in the middle of any topic and if your caught whispering she going to let you know she wont put up with it. She is always talking with the nurses and continues to get involved in their lives. All of them know her because she gets personally involved with them each time she gets admitted here. One might be trying to get pregnant while another will be balancing work with a new boyfriend yet another will be discussing their bad day. As long as I have known her she has had this sense about her that people would just open up to her and tell her anything. And once you would open up and trust her you knew you always had someone that truly cared about you. That is why so many people that know her always ask, how could something like this happen to such a wonderful, caring person like her. I myself married for almost thirty years cant think of a single time she has ever had to say to me "I'm sorry for saying that" or a single time she has even raised her voice at me. Oh and believe you me, i have deserved it on more than one occasion. And if I have ever hadn't realized just how special she really is, I do more than ever now. My daughter glued to her side and Colby and I at the end of the bed are cherishing every minute we have with her. This woman who has touched so many lives over the years has left a lasting impression on so many she met. The video at the end of this page is of a man facing adversity in his life that anyone would agree would be more than even they could bare, is something that inspired Lorrie and she made me aware of it and insisted that my son Colby and I watch it. Nick says if God doesn't give you a miracle you are a miracle of God to another's salvation. I know that this little miracle who's battered body cancer tries to defeat has left us with many amazing things to remember about a woman who was always trying to make life a little better for someone else even if it was just to sit down with them and listen. Sorry if this seems to be some kind of eulogy because IT'S NOT!! it's me and all who know her who are simply celebrating her life and the beauty that she continues to leave us with. At her side every step of the journey we continue to pray that God will bring us a miracle at this very difficult time and raise her up and heal her, but we all know no matter what tomorrow brings everyone who knows her can say they have seen a miracle. This cancer may take her body but it will never touch her soul.
