DO YOU FOLKS REMEBER THE CHESNEY FAMILY ?
WELL THIS IS A HAPPY FAMILY TODAY..
TILLMAN IS HOME WITH THEM IN A HOUSE NEARBY THE HOSPITAL.. FOR A WHILE LONGER.
~~~~~~~~~~
SINCE I LAST UPDATED YOU ON HIS PROGRESS, HE HAD A LITTLE BACK WASH HAPPEN.. HE DEVELOPED A LEAK AND HIS VEIN COLLAPSED.. SO HE STAYED A WHILE LONGER IN ICU.. TILL THEY PUT A STENT IN THE VIEN TO HOLD IT OPEN AND WITHIN A WEEK..
THIS FAMILY WENT HOME!
~~~~~~~~~~
HIS BODY AFTER THE TRANSPLANT WENT INTO CATCH UP ON DEVELOPMENT IN A KIND OF NASCAR HURRY!
*****
HE HAS SPROUTED 11 TEETH IN 5 MONTHS..
HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO BREATH BY HIMSELF...
HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO TAKE IN FOOD, BY PUTTING IT INTO HIS MOUTH AND SWALLOWING IT..
******
HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO ROLL OVER..
ONTO HIS TUMMY, BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT GO IN REVERSE YET! LOL
*******
THIS LED HIM TO DISCOVER
HE CAN NOW MAKE SOME REALLY LOUD PROTESTS OR PLEASURE SOUNDS BY USING HIS VOCAL CORDS ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HE HAS FELT THE SUN ON HIS FACE, THE WIND IN HIS HAIR, AND SMELLED THE OCEAN BREEZE..
**********
GOD HAS GRANTED TILLMAN CHESNEY...
WITH A MIRACLE OF LIFE FROM THE DEATH OF ANOTHER, WHO JUST COULD NOT BE SAVED...
**********
WHEN I REALIZED THAT FACT... I FELT LIKE A HUGE WEIGHT HAD BEEN LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS..
GOD HAS GRANTED ME LIFE ...
BUT COULD NOT SAVE MY LOVED ONES...
THEY HAD TO GO, AND I HAD TO REMAIN..
~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND TILLMAN.. WAS THIS LOCKERRIDE'S INVITATION TO COME BACK TO LIFE..
GOD HAS SENT MY BOAT, MY HELICOPTER AND MY LAST CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT..
******
TO GET RID OF ANYTHING THAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM LIVING...
*****
MY PLAN IS MY PLAN.. GOD MADE IT.. I CAN'T BREAK IT.. SO I WILL MAKE IT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I LEARNED TO LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SOUL..
*******
WHEN I LOOK AT TILLMAN.. HE IS NOT SAD.. AS A MATTER OF FACT .. HE LOOKS PRETTY WELL PLEASED, WITH WHAT LIFE IS OFFERING TO HIM RIGHT NOW..
************
NOT WORRYING FOR TOMORROW OR PINING FOR YESTERDAY..
HE IS CONTENT IN THE MOMENT!
THIS IS THE BEST HIS LIFE HAS EVER BEEN..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOR HIS PARENTS ALSO..
LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD!
*********
I PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU MY FRIENDS THAT EACH DAY GOD BRINGS GOOD THINGS INTO YOUR LIVES...
BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE PLAN..
~~~~~~~~~
NOTHING IN THE WORLD FEELS BETTER THAN A CHILD IN YOUR ARMS...
SWEET DREAMS CHESNEY MEN.. YOU HAVE EARNED THEM..
**************************
GOD SAID TO LOCKIE...
"LIFE CAN BE AS GOOD AS YOU LET IT BE...
MOVE ON..."
LOCKIE FINALLY SEES THAT HE IS RIGHT AS USUAL.. SIGH...
