I have a tendency to get bogged down and overwhelmed with the ideas of problems, or things that might go wrong. So my big girl way to cope? IGNORE IT. Make light of it. But mainly, ignore it.
So when my mother-in-law told us that she was going to write a book about Paul's life and hoped we would help her with the details, I knew I would have to go back "there" and actually dwell on the dark times. NO IGNORING IT.
For years, our lives were very dark.
For years, I thought God forgot us.
And reliving those times while Pam wrote the book, were both hard and cathartic.
But this isn't my story to tell, this is Pam's story, and I told her that I would be happy to post a link to her book here, http://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=9781622954353.
But let me end with this: God never forgot us, and I know He never will.

aww....I can only imagine. I am definitely going to download the ebook version. thx for sharing!
Thanks daughter-in-love! You and Paul are a huge testimony to me. Thanks for going back with me. But to set things straight - Paul asked me to write it, but for 1 1/2 yrs I told him no. I didn't want to go back either, but then the Lord convicted me to write the story. And, that's the rest of the story. :)
I hope Pam will autograph mine. ;) <3
Love you guys!
Yes, I want an autographed copy too.
Aww I am very sorry to read that you guys went through some dark times and I only hope that it is all behind you all now...much love friend xo
So sad!! Glad you all made it through it!!
Seeing pictures of Paul that thin reminds me of when Grayson was at his sickest with ulcerative colitis. He is 6'2" tall, and he got down to 134 pounds ... he was literally skin and bones. When they admitted him to the hospital, the doctors told me he was too sick for a colostomy, that he wouldn't make it through the surgery. Ohhh, it was a scary time. But you are right! The Lord never left our sides, either. We are indeed blessed. :-)
