Some of you may remember that was DH was severely injured during those freak storms that hit the east coast over the summer? He's recovering well and we have been so blessed, but sometimes, just sometimes, the days are hard. There are doctor appts, and physical therapy, and MRIs, and setbacks, and everyday life to keep under control. Those are the days and weeks that cause you to forget what a miracle it is that DH is even alive. Make you forget that every day, no matter how hard, is a miracle because DH is here and he's eventually going to be just fine.
I guess this past week was one of those weeks. But just this afternoon I watched DH do some electrical work relacing a light switch in our home. I know that may seem like no big deal, but for us? It's HUGE. He could grip the screwdriver and had the strength to turn the screws---not to mention even the act of manipulating the stairs with his cane (not his wheelchair or his walker, but his CANE---whoohoo!) brought tears to my eyes and reminded of how far we've come in 3 months.
And that reminded me the we really, absolutely without even a sliver of doubt Believe in Miracles That's waht my card says on the inside. As soon as I saw the pillow I knew what I wanted to do. Life is a Miracle beyond Price. Thank you so much to all of you who prayed for us---you humble us.
Okay. Enough of the sappy stuff For the card: the wire is recycled from wired ribbon. I just coiled it up and let it have its head. I used glue dots to adhere the gems even though they're self-adhesive that way the glue dots hold the wire in place. The sentiment is partially inked and the rest reads 'in Miracles' and is stamped on the inside.
Thanks for looking and 'listening.'

So glad to hear you and your husband are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure he has been working hard with his pts to get as far as he has come. My thoughts are with you both. Your card is amazing. You do cas so well, but this one is even more amazing. tfs
