Sybil,

I can relate. I had heart surgery in the form of aortic valve replacement.

Whooo-weeee. What an experience. All the fear, uncertainty, doubt… All the struggle of recovering from a broken sternum and stitched heart / aortic valve…

Still, I am beyond thankful that my aortic valve is now doing quite well.

Great to hear things are going better for you two!

Cheers,

Adam

Dear Sybil,
My blessings and thoughts of positive healing to you. By now you have had your surgery and I hope are well on your way to recovery. I have been recovering from pneumonia for several months and have been thinking about mortality. We take our lives for granted until we realize how fragile life is. I love the beautiful flower that your blog has become and thanks for all of your hard work.
Warmly,

Wow. I’m sorry that I haven’t been around to read this and know what was going on and pray for you.

What an amazing story. And I am so glad you found healing from your fear. I have an inordinant amount of fear—I know that, and I pray for help with it.

Bless you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In the short time that I have been reading your pages I have learned so much about infirmity and the truest meaning of health and faith. Your ability to embrace and articulate surrender is endlessly moving and is taking me a long way toward understand my own little physical hiccups.
May the One hold you in the sweetest state of safety and beauty. I eagerly await all of the “bigger and the better” you might share with this little corner of the world.
Blessings,
Marisa

I am glad I stopped by this evening so that I can start praying for you. Come back and report on your surgery when you feel up to it.
