Friday June 27th~

 Faith consists in believing when it is 
beyond the power of reason to believe...

The next few hours will be very stressful for us. 
My dad, Nina and David, Nirvan and myself are 
in (North Carolina) at the Cardiac Center  Our
 mom is having open heart surgery right now.


She is one of the strongest women I know 
and that is what will get her through all of this.  
At the same time we are scared out of our wits. 


My mom has never been sick. Has never been
 hospitalized.  Yes she lives with terrible pain, but
 she’s never been sick. I can't help but be scared 
right now, and yes, I am positive everything will 
be alright, even so I'm very scared.  So not me. 


Today is going to be one of the longest days
 of my/our lives.  Many many years ago dad also 
had open heart surgery.  He was much younger.  


To say we are a wreck is putting it mildly.  Yes the
 doctors know what they are doing. Yeah this is an everyday 
surgery and yes we all know everything is going to be 
alright 🙏, but when it’s your mother all bets are off. 

 No matter how much sense this all makes, until 
she’s out of surgery and in recovery I’m a wreck.


Good day to all NC is usually a place we all go to "forget"
 for awhile and to bask in being taken care of again.  Today
 that feeling is replaced by a lot of anxiety, a lot of what if,
 but most of all lots of prayers and faith that everything 
is going to be alright. That's the only way I see it.

Prayer is the voice of faith.  It can 
move mountains and change lives...
