A wonderful woman

My sis- in- law should be at home cuddling her twin grandaughters born just two weeks ago. But she is fighting cancer of the tongue at the Universiti Hospital. Her tongue has been removed partially to stop the spread of the dreaded disease. She has been cut open from her shoulder up to her chin and her jaw split into two to to get to the infected area. She has a very good chance of recovery the specialists say. And we all are praying that she does. But what a fantastic woman she is. Any other person in her predicament would have resigned to her fate and gone into depression. Not her. She is already planning what she would do once she is out of the hospital. Having been once a lecturer at a university she has been told that her voice may be muffled. Her days as a lecturer are over. A Masters in Education holder she has vowed not to leave the profession and plans to mark dissertations, edit educational books, publish books on education and perhaps even give tuition.
When she first came out of the op she had tubes running all over her and her face swollen. The next day she had her husband get a exercise book and pen and began to communicate with everyone who came to visit. The book is almost full with all kinds of messages, but most inspiring of all, she has given glory to God for helping her.
" Praise the Lord for He is good " " I shall bless the Lord for the great things He has done for me" is written all over the book. " Blessed are those who suffer for the Lord" " Everyone day I look out of this window and I can see the wonderful creations of our Lord" is her latest entry.
How does she do it? Any lesser person would have asked why this has happened to her when she has all to live for. She has two wonderful children who adore her. And now she has been blessed with a pair of twins by her daughter. Her son's wife is now expecting. She writes in her book to her husband that she wants another 10 years with him after he said that he would like to live for another 5 years with her. He smiles at her and says, " but I will be well into my seventies lah!" And they laugh together.
