Hey everyone. The news from Korea is not exactly what we had been hoping for tonight. Smiley is not going to be able to fly home to us. The airline did not deny his flight - Dr. Moon determined that Smiley was not medically able to make the flight.
I want you all to know that I truly believe that Smiley would want things to work out this way. He was very adamant that he did not want his boys to see him pass away from this life. There are so many reasons why Smiley is in Korea at this time. When we took Smiley to the airport for his miracle trip, I wrote of the wonderful spirit that we all felt that day. Smiley was so happy, and it showed on his face! We have such wonderful memories and pictures of Smiley on that day! I will NEVER forget the look on Smiley's face when Patty turned him around in that wheelchair and he saw all of us there - it was a priceless moment! God knew that we all needed to see that hope and happiness in Smiley that day. It will always be great to remember his smiling face :)
It has been so hard for everyone not to worry about Smiley during his fight with cancer, especially during the last few weeks. However, God does not want us to worry, but put all of our trust in Him. The following is one of my favorite verses:
Philippians 4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers.
God answers our prayers. The outcome may not always be what we want, but it is always what God knows is best! Let's all continue to pray and put our trust in God! He will help us through these difficult days!!
Patty, the boys, and the entire family would like to once again tell you that the love and support that you all have shown and continue to show have helped give them the strength to make it - they know that they are certainly not alone!
Love and prayers to you all :)
I'll be in touch...
