Kidney Stones

Larry called tonight and told me that they moved him, not out of Coffee Creek, but to the hospital wing. He is passing a kidney stone and he tried to pass it without incident. He has passed about 10 of them before and a few times he has done so without having to go to the hospital, but sometimes they are so painful and unbearable that he is in agonizing pain. It is hurtful to me to have to watch him suffer such terrible pain. It is more painful to not be able to be with him and know he is suffering so much agony. When I talked to him tonight, he broke down and told me that he never realized how much easier it made it in the past to just have the person you love with you when you are hurting so much. My heart feels literally torn out tonight. I long to be with him and help him bear this burden, but I can't, I have to put it in the Lord's hands and ask Him to be the one to comfort Larry through this pain. I wish there was more I could do, I am learning to lean on my Father in Heaven to do the things I am unable to do as a wife for my husband. I hate feeling as though my hands are tied, but He will do all that I cannot and I have to have faith in that. The one thing I know without doubt is that Larry is loved by our Father in Heaven even more than I love him and that is very difficult to comprehend, but I truly know it is the truth.
