An early morning telephone call, a drive to the hospital.
Worry and fear constant companions.
The overwhelming flood of relief that she is well. The seizure during respite severe but not damaging.
She’s awake, she knows us, she’s not going to die.
Because that is the fear. Every single time that is the dread.
The day of what would have been endless waiting for tests and results not a strain because she is alive.
Knowing it is silly to fear the end from one seizure.
Knowing and feeling are two different things. Fear knows no bounds, especially when we love.
Today all is well. So far. So far, no problem.
So I take a deep breath and have to put the worry out of my mind and silence the voice that says, quietly but persistently at the back of my mind, “just wait, the other shoe will drop.”
Sending you love.
