When I was in high school I had a secret admirer.
To this day I don't know who he was. The only reason that I ever knew he existed was because at one point he sent me a red rose.
Attached to it was a note.
I don't remember it exactly.
But it said something like:
I am trapped between fear and hope.
But secretly I am on the side of hope.
I had not thought of that in years.
In fact, I don't even know if I ever told my husband about it. (He obviously knows now :-)
But as I was preparing for this mornings results, that line popped into my head.
Secretly I am on the side of hope.
I know what is at stake today.
I know all too well.
Yet, secretly I am on the side of hope.
Hope of a long and prosperous life.
One of health, free from this dreadful disease.
Hope that God will give me the gift of more time.
Time to live out my dreams.
Yes, secretly I am on the side of hope.
I am grateful for this hope.
As I cannot imagine my life without it.
The emptiness
The despair.
So, I will cling to this hope today and always.
As it is a precious gift.
