One of the very important lessons I learned in life is accepting that God desires to perfect us , refine us and create a Christ-like character in us.
We were not promised to be free of suffering, pain or trouble. But we were promised that He will be there with us. He may not take the thorn away from us, but He promised he would give us strength to go through it.
The grief that you experienced from the death of your wife made you a better person. Your wife is so happy to see you that you are able to live your life well and has taken care of your children despite her absence.
God works not in our circumstances but works from our “inside” to out. Such an inspiring story you have.

Roy, can I give you a hug, brother? I can't find something clever too say. This is something else. Luke is right. It feels preposterous to write a comment after reading your story.

I can only nod in silent recognition. Brother, my friend, another hug, please.

Oh boy, you never cease to amaze me, Roy. Thanks for sharing this story with us.

Roy,
Your story moved me to tears. This story is worthy of publication, indeed.

I admire you for have staying with your wife till the end and making her last days as happy and comfortable as possible. And most importantly, you fulfilled your promise. Now, you have a clear conscience.

Congratulations for being nominated to the 2009 most influential blog.

Tasha

P.S. Jenna, thanks for giving us a venue to read such inspirational stories. Good luck to you as well.

I read this story at lunch today and liked to comment but can’t think of anything to say. I came back again this evening but nothing is still coming out from my fingers. I feel that whatever I may write here will be insignificant compared to the story anyway. I just can’t find a worthy thing to say to this very touching story. So, I guess I’ll just have to click Publish…
