Day after day He bears us

One day is added to another, and they become weeks, which are added to more weeks…it gives strength to Håkan’s body.

Today Håkan’s sister and her husband and son went to Linköping to visit Håkan. The swelling in his face has gone down more these last days.

I have, of course, visited the clinic every day, and on Tuesday I have a follow-up visit at the hospital, to meet the doctor and physical therapist. After that, I’m hoping I can travel up to Håkan, now that they are slowly trying to wake him up.

We still live at the hotel, but have received the key to the new apartment. The news is that the insurance company agreed to rent an extra little lair in the same house, so we’ll all have room…we have, of course, four teenagers who need a place to live.

Today when I showed Jakob the apartment, which is very nice, it hurt to see that only “Gunilla Gniste” was written on the door. At the same time, I have to accept that it will take a loooong time before Håkan can come home again.

Still, every day is filled with THANKSGIVING…that we are alive…that Håkan is alive…that no one was left in the house… That is so great, so we thank God for it many times a day.

Lord…great is your faithfulness…great is your faithfulness…

Thank you also all of you dear friends who have sent greetings…it means so much to us. Thank you also for all the flowers and gifts that have come…

We’ll meet each other in prayer for Håkan!
God bless you all!!
