You loved me enough

It was early spring when all things are at their prime.  New life, new beginnings, but mine was different.
Here I was a single mother with small children, working full time, going to school full time, and no time for myself.  I prayed for time for me, I needed time for me.

Then suddenly, with one wrong turn my world changed.  
I lay there on the table with the doctor telling me I may never walk again, all I could think was, you know me better than that, never walk again, how absurd.

But, inside I cried, inside I crumbled, and inside my world was changed.
I felt abandoned, alone, crying out with anger to God, how can you forsake me, you promised you would not, how could you do this to me, I thought you loved me.

So, you proved that you did, you were there when I went to surgery, you were there when I woke up, you were there every STEP of the way, holding my hand, cradling me in your arms, picking me up when I fell, carrying me when I could not walk on my own, feeling my tears and kissing them dry.
  
You love me enough to feel my pain and humbled me enough to give me time for me.

Thank you
