Handicaped Traveling

Tomorrow Thea flies to Holland. Lord, I pray that it will go well. She is so brave. It will be a long flight without her husband, without her boys. She will have to depend on strangers and trust in you.
I remember life before the accident. Stephanie used to talk back to her mother...like all girls do. But I will never forget the look on her face that day in the hospital when she thought she might lose her. She held the straps of Thea's purse with such determination to keep her mother on this earth. Thank You that Stephanie will also be on that plane tomorrow. She would go crazy here without her.
I want to pray for Thea's mother too. She has been very sick and can't fly to the states. Give her the strength to force back the tears when she sees her baby girl in a wheelchair. Let them have a meaningful visit. The kind of visit that allows them to hold on tight, knowing you may never see them again in this world. Hours filled with questions they've always wanted to ask, gifts that truly say "I love you" and tears that turn to laughter.

Bless this family, bless them with memories they will treasure.
In Your Name, I Pray...
