Coming Up for Our Superman

This guy...

God bless his very soul.

He's such a mess!

I don't know how he keeps the

attitude he does.

Speaking honestly, his life

pretty much sucks. 

Not a word I often use,

but in this case...it's just fitting.

He still can't talk, can't eat,

drools, and barely walks unassisted.

YET he is the strongest, most

amazing person I know.

Insurance has cut out so he

doesn't get to have therapy. 

He's pretty much stuck at home

sitting in a chair with Facebook

and the TV.  He does work out

by walking on the treadmill,

he writes posts for his blog

and works on things like learning

to button his shirts and pants all

over again.  It's just a hard, hard life.

But he keeps on keepin' on.

Flashing that million dollar smile.

Impacting people of all sorts

in the most random of places...

Asking me to put a card for

Hunter on his birthday on his bed.

Travis used to have the most

perfect penmanship for a guy.

I feel like I'll miss what could have been for

this guy all the days of my life,

but I think God will surprise me

when I least expect it with a true

aha moment and then I'll know.

It might not be this side of Heaven,

and that's okay...not easy...but okay!

I recently read an article called,

"What To Do When You Wanted

Your Story to Be Different"...

It was such a great read!

 I really don't question God because

I have a deep rooted faith

 and I trust what I know to be true

 about God's promises,

but I still have a very hard time

grasping the realities that so

many I know are facing ~ not just Trav.

  Such suffering and sadness and sickness...

it just makes my heart ache.

But the article mentioned 

"It's seeing Jesus that will finally heal our hearts."

AND I Love that!!! 

 The ultimate "aha moment" when we

 meet Jesus and everything will make

 perfect sense....I know that doesn't really

make the day to day struggles that

so many face easier, but it does give HOPE...

the ultimate light at the end of the tunnel.

By the grace of God, some

federal funding has become available

for Travis to be able to return to

CNS, the brain rehab place in Dallas

where Travis made such progress

before insurance cut out on him at

that time.  They loved him at CNS

and we loved it there, too.

On July 22nd, he is returning there!!!

It will be SO HARD not having him

close and I just cry thinking

about it:( but I know it's what

he desperately needs.

He's excited, too!!!

He knows he needs it, but it will

be hard...harder than he realizes yet

because he doesn't really remember

his time there since he was still

not completely with us at that time.

PLEASE join me in praying for him

and what lies ahead.  Pray for

him to heal more.  Pray for more

miracles.  Pray for acceptance.

Pray for purpose for his life.

Pray for a friend for him.

Pray for a girl to love him

and for him to love. 

Please just pray for him.

I am so thankful for Travis

and just can't wait to know

the meaning in all of this!!!!!

I know it will be worth it:)

Thank you for praying for our Superman.
