You Are The One I Love...

I wanted to title this "I Am Heart Sad Tonight", however it wasn't the right title, so a "silly song" from Veggie Tales came to mind and I will spare you the actual Veggie Tales movie (because I can't remember which one it is...we love them all). 
Anyway.....

Over three years ago, my precious mother had a horrible accident that crushed her leg. We had just finished water skiing when it happened. We literally strapped her to a wake board to get her 30 minutes back to a dock where 911 was waiting. My mom (you can call her Gommy-all her Darlin's do), has had several surgeries including rods and pins put into her leg with the prayer being for her to walk again...especially without crutches.  The last few months, Mom has painfully been walking without crutches...until Thursday, when the pain was so great that she couldn't walk at all. An X-Ray revealed that the "hardware" in her leg might have broken, or...

...or what, we aren't sure. The first picture is my mom and dad...I know...They are so dadgum cute, aren't they. The next picture is Gommy (my mom...remember, if you pray for her, you are one of her "Darlin's" and you have the special Right to call her Gommy!!!!) with my nephew, Scott, when we were playing on the Texas sand dunes at Christmas...she's like that...she loves to have fun and laugh and play with her loved ones!! I'm pretty sure that she will adopt you too if you want to ask her...she's like that :)...so is my pretty darn cute dad...you can call him "Dandy"; that's what all his kids call him). 
So back to the "You Are The One I Love..."; I chose that title because my parents have taught me to have hope at all times and don't give up!!! However, you can imagine a crushing leg accident, over three years of pain, and for such a young and vibrant woman, CRUTCHES...I mean really... nothing speaks Non-Sexy likes crutches (although, if you could make crutches Sexy, believe me, your Gommy could!!!!)
So, she is back on the dreaded crutches and waiting for the next 4 weeks to see if the pain gets better and then a decision will be made about the "what next". 

I can tell one thing, Gommy and Dandy wont go down without a fight. Would you please pray for our precious Gommy, that the LORD would heal her and give her strength....
I have never met anyone like my precious mother and so back to my first title; "I Am Heart Sad Tonight". 
Someone else very precious to me is also VERY SICK and would you please pray for her...

This BEAUTIFUL woman married my brother...the cool thing is that we were best friends FIRST. Course, then, she got all warm and fuzzy with my brother and married him, and well, I haven't been "best" friend since...HAHA. I am so teasing...can you imagine how awesome to have your best friend marry your brother!!! Truly, the LORD, gave me the sister I always wanted. This precious sister is fighting some very serious physical problems...she hasn't been able to work since Christmas and is hurting EVERY DAY. I am asking for prayers for her also. 
This is why my friendships with each one of you is so precious to me. I am hurting for those I love so much tonight...and I am so grateful that I can share that with ya'll.  I will keep you updated...
and as my tears fall now, may we each remember the Ones We Love and keep them in our prayers and encourage each other as we walk our lives of love, faith and hope!
