Healing

It's been a couple of weeks now since Marie passed away and Matt was struck by a car. Healing takes time. Sometimes it seems like it will never progress, then suddenly, we find ourselves in a new place that was difficult to imagine just a short time ago. Saturday, Matt raked some leaves in our yard. That's how far he's come. Today, the staples come out of his abdominal incision. Last Wednesday at a church dinner a pastor stopped by to chat with Susan and Matt while I was off talking to some friends. When asked how things are going, Susan responded, "My mother's in heaven and Matt's on the mend." That's a pretty healthy outlook. We're so thankful for so many good friends who have shown us they care.
