Currently I am riding waves of emotion. I have these beautiful moments of peace and joy...just so thrilled that Chuck is home, so glad to have rest myself. Then I have sudden onsets of sadness...accompanied by the type of weeping that wracks my whole body. I've had a few moments when I just couldn't breathe. Then, I have moments of numbness in which I wonder who this Chuck is that everyone is talking about. For the most part, I live in that blessed state of shock. Please pray as it wears thin and reality sets in.

My verse for the day and many days to come is: The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalm 34:18.
