They Love Each Other

She was having surgery today. This is her second surgery in about three or four months. The first to replace her shoulder, today's to replace her hip. She couldn't stand with the use of her arms (shoulder) when she had the hip replaced so the shoulder was first. He had surgery last month, an aortic valve replacement. They are in their upper 80s and have been married a long time. Occasionally, they seem to get on one another's nerves. I've heard them talk about selective hearing.
Yet when he came in today, there was genuine concern on his face. He looked at his daughter and said, "How is she?" Nothing else mattered at that point except for her well-being. What a wonderful love story. In this day and age when marriages don't last as long as car loans, it's nice to see one that has lasted and is thriving.
She's fine. She'll be fine. She's a tough woman and I woudn't bet against her for anything. But thanks for your prayers anyway. God is good. Have a great day. JW
