Prayers For Christy

To those who don’t know, my friend Christy is currently in the hospital. On August 28th she suffered a sever head injury that resulted in 3 neuro surgeries to remove clotting. I have been helping to keep a blog for her and would love to share the experience I had today with her. It touched my heart…

“I saw Christy for the 2nd time since the accident today. She’s looking so much better. They took out every other staple in her head today too. Dustin and I sat with her for a few minutes. It feels so peaceful in the room. I know of no other way to describe the feeling than to say it feels like being in the temple. The spirit is so strong there. Christy had been coughing a lot to try and clear her throat. The nurse came in and cleared it out for her. Dustin left for a moment after she was done. I slid to the edge of my chair to see Christy and she opened her eyes and looked at me. As she did she pointed to her right and I asked if someone was there. She nodded her head. I asked if it was Grandpa and she quickly shook her head no. She was very sure it wasn’t him. I asked who it was and she shrugged to say she didn’t know. The spirit in the room was indescribable.

I can’t wait for Christy to come home so I can talk to her some more about the gospel. I loved our conversations. I miss talking to her and telling her things. I can’t do that right now. I hope she gets better soon. I miss her and love her. I’m so thankful she’s still here. Each day is a blessing. I’ve learned that now. Every breath is a blessing. This life is so short. I’m so thankful for Christy. So thankful for our loving Heavenly Father and for our Savior Jesus Christ. I’m so amazed by the sacrifice they both made so that we could have the chance to take a step back and look at our lives and change.

Christy, come home soon! We need to go to the temple. I miss you!
