"Can´t hear the beep"

I get home and I notice there´s something different. Something is missing. Finally I figure out what that is: Can´t hear the beep on the other side of the door.

For many months, that sound has announced me that someone we care about and love is going to bed or just woke up. It´s been a reminder that Manny is with us and the reason why we´ve been sharing the same roof.

Somedays, I confess, my heart got so sad after hearing the dyalisis machine starting. Wasn´t easy to think of him plugged to that machine, being alone in his room and not being able to share our family dinner or going out to watch a movie.

Or, in the morning, if the beep didn´t sound, my mind stormed on fears about him not waking up or getting sick.

But tonight, there´s no beep in his room because he´s not here; and next time, when he comes back, the beep will sound no more because he´ll be healthy again and ready to catch up with his life, with his children and with his new projects.

His room is closed and my heart is full of joy. God is giving us the desires of our heart! HE is performing a miracle for us. One for which two little boys have prayed for a long time.

So, putting aside my fears for facing the unknown and my uncertainty for the future, I feel my heart so full of joy, hope and gratitude that happiness tears burst in my eyes.

It´s so good not to hear the beep, my Lord! Let it sound no more because, last night and just because of your Grace, I heard that beep. . . for the last time in Manny´s room.

Praise God! New life to Manny is on the way!
