And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]
would I fly away, and be at rest.
Today we spoke with Melanie via the Skype on the computer. Two O'Clock our time, 8 in the evening, German time. Yesterday she took to the heavens via United Airlines and flew from Jacksonville to Washington, DC, then to Frankfurt, arriving at 3AM. For the next six weeks we will be able to communicate daily via the Skype, making the separation not as bad.
Last year when Melanie was in the coma, unable to communicate, all we could do was sit by, pray and watch. Though she will be gone this year for the same duration she was in the coma last year, we are most grateful for the advances in communication that allows us to stay in touch.
In an effort to break from the day, Jordon and I took the kayaks for a short trip on Alligator Lake. Jordon had a sore throat and thus we cut the time to just after sunset. We had planned on staying into the night. Perhaps we shall try again when the moon is full and hopefully, the weather cooler.
Tonight Jordon had a sore throat and felt bad. He stopped here in the lagoon, listening to the hoot owls calling, waiting for a turkey to call.
ReplyDeleteCaught in his thoughts, I took this photo.
It is as if he too was waiting for the signal to fly into the trees for the evening roost.
