Yesterday as I was getting ready for church and as my husband was outside putting air in my tires I stood there and thought how thankful I was for such an amazing husband. I realized in that moment that there are so many things that Travis does that I am so thankful for. I found myself not just being thankful for the big things he does like providing for us but also the small things he does like always making sure my car is okay to drive, wrapping me up in blankets and making supper the days I am not well, telling me he loves me, making me laugh, always being there for me and being the most humble and romantic guy I know. As I looked over the blessing that I read every day that was read to us on the day of our wedding day I pondered the words and realized once again how blessed I am and how thankful I am that Travis and I have such an amazing marriage.
Then yesterday afternoon we were at our cousin’s house and Travis had an accident. He slipped while on an ice rink and fell on a hook. He had a huge hole in his face when I saw him and blood was pouring from his face. We rushed to the hospital but they didn’t help him at all. They didn’t even look at his face to see how bad it was. They just gave him a card and told him to sit down. As we waited I could see it was getting worse and when I asked a guy how long he had been waiting to just be assessed and he said an hour and a half I decided we were going to a hospital in another town. We went there and were attended right away. They could see the gash was right by his eye and it had torn already and was getting worse. They stitched him up and were awesome at attending to us. The doctor told Travis he was lucky it wasn’t any closer to his eye. I am so thankful to God for His protection. The hook went in so close to his eye that the doctor said that Travis eye was exposed. :S Almost made me pass out when I heard that but by looking at it you could tell it was bad. It was so hard to see Travis in so much pain but I am so glad that it wasn’t worse than what it was and that he has two eyes to still see. It definitely made me think how quickly life can change. I mean I could have had a husband with one eye and it would change our lives. Not hugely but it would be a whole new adjustment in our lives and it would be hard. I am just so glad that God had His angels around Travis and that no hook went into his eye. His face may be swollen, and his eye may look black from
bruising but he has two eyes to see and for that I am very thankful.
