Angels are with us

It is 7:45 am, I am in the waiting room with my parents. I just left Dale about 15 minutes ago...I am missing him already. I am surprisingly calm. I have cried....a lot. He is such a wonderful person and I love him so much. I feel many emotions running through me right now, this picture describes how I am feeling, sad with what Dale is having to go through, hopeful for a quick recovery and for everything to go well, happy that this is almost done, bored, what am I going to do for 7 hours?! Loved by all the wonderful people that we are surrounded with, proud of the amazing man that I am married to and the wonderful children that we have, afraid of something happening in the operating room (I try not to feel this one to much, it is the one that usually brings me to tears).

I want to share with all of you the dream I had last night. I prayed that I would be able to sleep well before getting into bed last night and after crying for awhile I did fall asleep and slept until 4:30 am. In my dream Dale and I woke up the morning of his surgery and spent the whole day together just hanging out and having fun. I don't remember what we did exactly but I do remember cleaning up toys and doing laundry. We had a good day. (Side note: When we came for the pre-op on Friday they told me that I would need to be in the waiting room when the surgery was done so that the doctor could come and talk to me to let me know how every thing went, it is very important for me to be here then.) It was getting close to the time that I needed to be there so I told Dale that we needed to hurry up to the hospital. On the way to the hospital I had to make a quick stop, Dale dropped me off and told me to meet him at the hospital. When I got to the hospital I told the nurses that I was suppose to meet my husband there. They told me that he had been in surgery all day and that they had been wondering where I had been. I then told them that Dale had been with me all day and it was impossible that he had been in surgery. They asked me what we had done all day and assured me that Dale was there and had been there for hours in surgery. It was then that I realized that the Dale I was with was an angel watching over me and keeping me busy. I know it is silly but I know that Dale and I and the kids have angels watching over us and protecting us. I feel that the angels that are with Dale in that operating room right now are his grandparents, they love him so much and they will keep him safe. I love you all so much, we feel so blessed to have you all a part of our lives. I will keep you all posted.
