Play Catch Up

To bring everyone up to speed, Melia is doing better today. Yesterday she had a fever, and as she usually does, had a tendency to spike (103.6!) Today she has a mild one, which is exactly what Kiera had Wed-Thurs. Unlike Kiera, Melia's ear(s) did not hurt, so Kiera might have had a pending infection that we were able to ward off.

I am fine. My heart is not broken-- it is just that Gabe won't dance anymore. We used to dance together, and had so much fun. Now we don't, and to me it is the deeply personal pain of rejection. But rejection is not the underlying issue, it is just the resulting symptom. I need to learn to put him above myself, and not value my own desires above those of my husband.

This is a good example of how love is a choice. We as humans with our selfish nature put ourselves first. I wanted to dance, and to be turned down hurt. In the future, I need to consider his feelings before expecting my needs to be met.

I can't wait for the dancing there will be in heaven!
