A Christmas Wish
Christine sat in the living room watching the lights in the Christmas tree. Mary had decorated the tree alone this year, Christine had been too weak, and she was too weak to do much of anything. The miracle she had been praying for hadn???t seemed to be granted and was loosing hope. The cancer that had taken both of her legs was still ravaging her body, she was no longer on chemo it was no longer working, nothing was working and night and day she was being pumped with morphine to ease the pain. ???Mary I do not think I can hold on much longer ???Christine said weakly one night ???Christine if you are too tired to fight I understand.??? Both the girls let the tears fall from their eyes as Christine spoke. It wasn???t that Christine had completely giving up hope, but she had to face the fact that she may not make it through this, short of a miracle she would not make it. ???Lord gives me the strength to get through this.??? She prayed. When Christine was up to it, she and Mary would sing Christmas carols just as they had done every Christmas before, and singing actually made Christine feel a little better, made her for a moment to forget the pain she was suffering. Christmas morning came and Christine was still hanging in there, it wasn???t and easy fight, but prayers were being answered. Christine was actually feeling better and stronger, but either Christine or Mary dare not to get their hopes up too high, just to have them crashed again. As they celebrate Christmas just Christine and Mary together, they cherished each moment, It had been the way they had celebrated since their parents had died, Just the two sisters, and now with Christine so sick they knew they had to cherish the moment, each and every moment. A few days after Christmas Christine went for more blood working and the miracle they had been praying for was confirmed, Christine has gone into spontaneous remission but both Christine and Mary that it was not spontaneous at all. That in fact it was the Lord who let this happen.??? Thank you Lord.??? Was all Christine could say with the tears of joys in her eyes.
