Dear David


When I met up with you at Urgent Care today you said you were watching my blogs in Mexico to see what my “angry” post would say :). Yes, I was going crazy waiting for word that was WAY TOO SLOW in coming…but I had nothing “angry” to say about it. I do, of course, wonder what compelled you to STAY in Rocky Pointe two more days to fish when you KNEW you had a concussion but that is a side point. Since you are obviously following this, what I really want to say to my darlin’ brother is that I get crazy with worry when something happens to those I love. You are precious to me and I can’t stand the thought of you injured – ESPECIALLY if I can’t get to you. The song by Susan Ashton “Send A Message” was going through my head today. I’ve had to edit the “romance” angle out of it, but most of the song say’s just what’s on my heart:

SEND A MESSAGE:
===============

Just when things get a little too tough
Maybe you don’t know what to do
This great big world comes a little undone
And you need a hand to hold on to
Every hour, every day, every minute
Take a look and you will find
That I will be your rescue
(David), like you’ve been mine

Just send a message if there’s trouble here
I could be oceans away
Just send a message to me loud and clear
(David), I’ll be there for you

Just send a message if there’s trouble here
I could be oceans away
I’ll go the distance, (David), don’t you fear

I would sail the sea of lonesome
To an island of despair
I would search the streets of heartache
‘Cause no other love compares
If you’re stranded and alone
Out on the edges of the earth
I’d go anywhere for (you) now , darlin’
I know what it’s worth

I’ll be there for (you), I’ll be, I’ll be there for
Just send message, darlin’
Just send message, darlin’
I’ll go the distance, (David), don’t you fear

P.S. Not that you NEED a rescue. You do know what to do and this world is barely big enough for you – much less tooo big…BUT…the point remains…there is only one place I want to be when you are hurting. Wherever you are.

  1. I don’t feel good, still sick, head hurts, nose running – and this post did NOT help!!! (Crying when you have a cold makes it twice as misearable!) If anyone doesn’t believe how much we love each other, it was just described for you here. When one of us hurt, we all hurt. We are ALL in this world together, thick and thin, good and bad, poor or rich, but ever TOGETHER. Thanking the Lord for His divine protection, thanking Him for our closeness, thanking Him that He continues to grow us up into what He has planned for us here.

  2. isn’t it amazing how many ups and downs a family can go through but with a common bond of famly AND love for the Lord… beautiful things… beautiful things….
