You are still my valentine.

Someone asked me if I am moving on. I am not looking for a fork in the road.
I can not walk away while he is struggling to break free . No matter what life has in store for me, I will return to lock eyes with him and tell him that I love him and he means the world to me.
I pray that God will use me to comfort and strengthen Vince. He is there but his body is being stubborn, fighting against what his mind wills.
Think about what it would be like to be aware yet unable to respond because the part of your brain that controls formed speech has died and the pressure on your brain refuses to allow it to send and receive proper signals. The small bleedings that he has had in his brain are blocking some connections but the shunt has helped to drain cerebral spinal fluid pressure.
He can follow me with his eyes and move his feet together and apart on command. He can give thumbs up. When I visited him I kissed him goodbye and walked to doorway. I looked at him and he grunted and sat himself up with all his might and then fell back down. He never did this before.
Keep Vince in your prayers for a healing and that doctors will not give up on him.

my prayers be with you and his family as he is haveing a very hard time right and my prayers are with the doctors to help him as much as they can -
I completely agree, Sarah. I know that Mandi deserves MUCH better than what she is getting, but SHE doesn't, which is the problem. Thank you for the very wise advice. That gives me more "ammo" when I'm talking with her about her situation. I think she is afraid of being alone (which is a legitimate fear!) so she stays with him. Her family life is pretty much non-existent because of her fiance. He has caused so many rifts between her and her mother (her father has passed away, and she has a step-father who doesn't get along with her). She goes to the Baptist church three times a week, but she doesn't agree with a lot of what they teach. She won't go anywhere else because that's where Gill (her fiance) wants to go. I've invited her to go to church with us, and to come to family studies, but she won't come because Gill has such a choke-hold on her. Please pray that I will have wisdom when talking with her! It's so hard to understand where she's coming from because I am not and have not ever been in a situation like that. I just need a lot of prayers to know what the Word says, and to try to persuade her in the right direction. -

you are both in my prayers -
You are such an angel of love! Keep on being Jesus' smile and voice and hands and feet to Vince as long as you are able. -
Really I didn't know that. S -
This story brings tears to my eyes. I am praying for yourself and Vince. -
Lol. Yeah. It is quite interesting!! I have learned a whole lot there. It's good to hear from you. I'm so sorry about your valentine. I'll be praying!! -
Hey Sarah, thanks for the comments on my blog and helping me to keep things in perspective. I can't imagine what it must be like to be dealing with what's on your plate. I will pray for you. Stay strong! -
Amazing progress! -
