Things seem to be moving in directions without my approval. It doesn't matter whether I want it or not; I am now the wife of a stay-at-home photo journalist. LT has been very sick the past two weeks with Bronchitus and a sinus infection, in addition to Congestive Heart Failure and Sleep Apnea. This is not a fun time for him. At the close of week two he decided to go ahead and take short term disability until his retirement begins at the end of August. That retirement date has been kicked around for two years now... sometimes it was in May, at the end of his 40th year with WSB-TV News... Then he decided to wait until after his birthday, which is August 28th. Then he decided to go on to the end of the year... However, last February during his annual physical, the cardiologist informed him that his heart transplant is failing and gave him six months to live. Not long after that bad news he finally admitted his lack of stamina and endurance; as at the end of every workday, and every minor exertion, he fell into bed to recover. These ignored symptoms have been increasing and then came the illness. Now he reluctantly prepares to die as he plans to live... He wants to live This is not an easy or noble task for one with ADD. I am still struggling to get our wills signed and notorized. They have been written for four months... There are videos, family treasures, to be burned on DVD's... things, technical and otherwise, to be passed on that only he knows or understands. And much more that we desire of him. But his heart is elsewhere... computers and other black box machines to finish building... Continued classes on his Panasonic; the camera he bought to use freelancing after he retired. He doesn't want to think of endings, he has Dreams of the future... Plans undone... And a groove of procrastination 64 years deep! We've learned to smile at the unfinshed projects started with great enthusiasim and visions of glory. Now we trust God that the finished project of his life will be completed to HIS satifaction. That's all that matters. It's not about The Long Time Husband [41 years] or the wants of the family, this partially remodeled house, his beloved church media team [that he continues to feed donuts], or those long large-life years with the TV station. It's all about HIM... He sits on the Throne... HIS will be done |
