here's another story

[courageous wife]

Well, back here (journaling mostly) after what started off rocky and became nice weekend. H menitond us going camping one last time this year before the weather gets bad so I got things ready to go and he was out cutting wood and said he'd be home by 12:30-1:00. Well, 1:00 came and went so, while listening to my new theme song "You'll Never Find" by Lou Rawls, I took a drive so I wasn't home when he got here. He did try to call me at 1:30 on my cell but I didn't answer as it was from his cell so I figured he wasn't home yet. Drove around and cried and then came home as I knew the kids would be out of school by then. He asked where I was and acted mad that I wasn't there. That night, when we all went to bed, he just grabbed me and hugged me like there was no tomorrow, all night long. I didn't ask any questions. Wondering if he was thinking, "I missed her this week" or "this is the last time we will camp together?" Had to work the next day so he was with kids most of the time by himself. Saturday, we didn't have the hugging but slept close. Sunday, he decided we should pack up early and come home. Fine with me as I am GAL and had plans to go to a movie with a new friend that afternoon (I had not menitoned that to him yet). When we got home, he told me that he has been having some pains in his chest off and on and that he wasn't going to tell me but decided he would. Not sure why he wasn't going to tell me (although I do tend to panic!). He is to make an appt TODAY and go in and get checked out! His family has a history of heart trouble. Got dinner all ready and announced I was leaving to go to a movie with this friend and he seemed surprised but pleasant about it. She is a lady who is one of my clients (I cut hair) and she goes to the church that I am thinking of attending and we were talking about this movie we both wanted to see and how it wouldn't be anything our husbands would like and she suggested we go together and I can't help but think that maybe God is playing a part in this!!! Kinda gives me shivers! Anyway, plan to go this Sunday and thank Him!!!
