After the party!

What a 50th birthday party Carina had – naturally high quality, musically, and good food – together with her whole family – fantastic.

Håkan recorded his congratulations to Carina, and I know how much he appreciates her, as a person, and the worship ministry she’s involved in, when she pulls down heaven.

After the party, I drove straight to Håkan. He sat there watching sports on TV. Kjell and Gunilla from Växjö had been with Håkan today with a guitar and singing, flowers and fruit. They had a nice time. We spoke about Carina’s party and everyone who had sent their greetings to Håkan.

Last Thursday, Håkan rode in an ambulance down to Sahlgrenska, and on Friday, he was operated on for four hours with a local anaesthesia. That was painful for Håkan. The doctor took skin from his neck and put new skin on Håkan’s right eyelids, both upper and lower.

Today, Saturday, Håkan came back to Uddevalla Hospital, but will go back to Sahlgrenska on Monday morning again, so they can look at his eyelids again.

But this evening, we were alone in Håkan’s room.

Just to be able to sit close and listen is such a nice feeling. That was inconceivable a few months ago.

Just to be able to stand close and massage his back is so nice. I didn’t dare touch his back a little while ago.

Just to be able to express our love to each other is so great, now that we can both talk again.

To rejoice over life, say how proud I am of my husband. Now we don’t take anything for granted.

To be able to pray together and bless each other – what a strength. Thanks, Lord, for grace and life!

“For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”
Isaiah 41:13

Thank you everyone for all your support!
Bless!
Many hugs,
Gunilla
