It’s a reality of this life. God ordained that after the creation of Adam that he would also create Eve so that they would have oneanother and not be alone. They then we’re blessed with children and we are those children generations removed.
Part of the reason why I am still here personally is because I am very very stubborn. I do not give myself an inch. I can be foolish at times I know but I choose life and I choose to get myself back into the game where I can contribute to society in a meaningful way.
Yesterday I was home and my wife was down the Cape with a number of her girl friends for the day so I decided to walk the track for the first time since last Fall. I called my brother and he dropped what he was doing to join me. So, I walked a quarter mile lap with him and we headed home.
This Morning , I woke up hopped in the shower and decided I would walk the track. My wife was now at church and I went Saturday so I said I will go now and be done when my wife gets back from mass.
Off I went to the track as I left the garage I saw my eldest daughter and just said I am going to walk the track 🙂 and, away I went.
I got to the track and there were a lot of young kids playing soccer so cute. The parents were all there watching and talking together. I remember those days well with 4 kids my wife and I were always at one field or another.:) Those days were so important for my kids and for us I thank God for every one of the moments there.
Well this morning God protected me from myself once again. I am one hundred percent sure of this fact here’s why,
I began to walk the track and the kids were playing on the field. I was walking and greeting other walkers as they passed by me. It was gorgeous out and it was the day that I have been waiting for. As I walked and looked at the sky I began to pray and talk softly to God so I could hear myself. I wanted my ears to hear what my heart was expressing to God. I began to say I can’t believe that one year ago that I told my physical therapists that I wanted to run the Boston marathon. I was thinking how stupid of me !I became embarassed. WITH that, I thought to myself I can do it! and It’s not because I say that I can , it’s because God can do anything that he chooses to for me. I felt a sense of defiance and got mad at myself for being negative and picked up my pace as I walked I felt empowered. I was finishing the 1/2 mile mark (2 laps) as I rounded the final corner I suddenly felt my left leg begin to falter and I thought oh no ! I am going down. I stopped and used my right hand and pushed on the top of my cane to help support me. I tried to step forward but my knee cap was going up and down fromthe stress and the nerves. all of my wiring from the brain is newon the left side of my body and is being rebuilt over time. I began to take little steps fighting myself not to fall. I looked up and down the track about 150 feet away all of a sudden a figure emerged walking down the track I thought I recognized her but was not sure as she got closer I realized that it was my daughter. She walked up to me and I said what are you doing here? I said I am going to fall. she raised her sunglasses and looked at me and smiled and said dad don’t worry, I got you,I am here. I was on the verge of tears she said lets go and I said I was trying to walk 3/4 of a mile today but my body is rebelling. She was holding my left side steady as we walked and she said how long have you walked ? I said 1/2 mile so she said c’mon lets go you can do it:)
So, we took the final lap her helping me as my leg once again faltered. My daughter became my left side as we walked.
I asked her again how did you end up down here? You were a Miracle to me today!
She said after she saw me in the garage she went to the gym to work out. She said she walked into the gym and said to the person at the desk, I don’t know why I am in here today my dad is walking the track. I should go with him and the girl replied yes you should plus it is beautiful out.
So God sent one of my angels to help me today. I was wrong to have pushed myself to a point of potentially harming myself but lesson learned. Like my daughter said dad, slow and steady your going to get there.
For my beautiful daughter, Dad says thank you and God Bless You Honey.
