The Lord doesn't want me yet.
So last Tuesday after suffering bad muscle pain for a few days my wife took me to the ED of a local hospital.
The pain had got to be excruciating.
They took me in and I was in a cubicle waiting to be seen by a doctor.
The pain had gotten so bad that I felt like I was about to be sick. I yelled out and a student nurse came and brought me a bag.
I was sick and remember saying, "My goodness, that's better"
Then nothing.
The next thing I remember was this student nurse pushing my chest really hard (it was hurting) and I couldn't figure out why she was doing it.
Boy this is really hurting. Why is she doing this, I thought.
I woke up to see about a dozen people around me. I remember a man yelling out "He's back"
My heart had stopped for just over 2 minutes.
Speaking to the student nurse later I found out that her name was Adriana. She told me that it was the first time she had ever performed CPR for real and she would never forget it. That day Adriana was my Angel, I will never ever forget her.

Dear Shane,
I'm glad you're okay. <3 And so happy Adriana was there. I keep you in my prayers, and thank the Lord with you.

Re: The Lord doesn't want me yet.
Oh my goodness! Are you still in the hospital, Shane? I am so grateful that your Earth Angel, Adriana brought you back. The special energy bond, I suspect, will always be there between the two of you. I pray you are surrounded by loving humans and celestial beings and I am grateful that "the Lord doesn't want you yet." Frankly, we still need you here and that won't change ever.
You and Melody are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take good care of yourself.
love,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Yes I am now home. Thank you for your prayers.
I'm still taking it all in. Even when I think about it now I come to tears. Makes you realise how quickly things can end.
I've still got more to do here.
I hope you are all well there and recovered from the dreaded Covid.
Shane.

Re: The Lord doesn't want me yet.
hi Shane,
Glad to know you are home after that painful scare. I am thinking right now about my own life and how much time I have wasted worrying these past months instead of simply appreciating the moment and what it brings. I lost a good friend recently and it was very unexpected and when I found out she was gone I really appreciated the time we did share and regretted the times I was too busy to chat with her. I know I took her for granted.
But life doesn't stop or slow down in any case does it?
I guess there is no guarantee how long we have with our loved ones.
Time to learn and time to learn to love unconditionally.
I am recovered from Covid (Thanks for asking)
) with the exception of a lingering cough which of course sets everybody on edge. LOL I am wearing my super dooper mask now when ever I go out in public. Don't want to do that again if I can help it.

First of all your friend is in my prayers. May I ask her name?
Yes I totally agree, life can be so easily taken for granted. I try not to have any regrets, but we've all got a few.
I still come to tears when thinking about what happened. What if I didn't make it? How would Melody have got home from the hospital, she would have been a total mess. It goes on.
I drove down to the hospital last Saturday to give a thank you card to Adriana the nurse. I just gave it to the lady on reception and she promised me that she would get it. I didn't expect to hear anything as I thought that staff are probably not to have contact with ex patients. To my surprise on Monday evening I received a text from Adriana saying that she received the card and thanked me very much.
It really made my day.

Here's hoping that you can get rid of that lingering cough soon.
God Bless you Sandy.
Shane.

Re: The Lord doesn't want me yet.
Hi Shane,
You are such a kind and thoughtful person. Adriana is blessed too by your loving actions. I hope she keeps the card and when she is feeling low is reminded by it as to how precious life is and that the world is so much better by her existence.
How is Melody handling what happened?
I am praying you both have many, many, years together and a very bright future as well. You both make such a good team for Light on this planet.
Thank you for your prayers for Donna and her family who must be reeling in all kinds of emotions right now after her death. (Donna is my friend's name) And if you could also pray for those who loved her that would be helpful too. It came so suddenly and while I/we know that she is beyond fear and suffering now... the world is a little less appealing for us knowing this innocent, bright, cheerful person is no longer in it.
I am doing much better with the lingering cough. Thank you.

First of all happy 4th of July to you and your family. It must be very great to be with them on this special day after so long.
Melody is stronger than me in these situations. She doesn't say much. (It's the Japanese way I think)
She has a lot on her mind with her dad not improving , but not getting any worse.
I have prayed for Donna several times and for her family and yourself.
Enjoy your 4th July.
Shane.

Re: The Lord doesn't want me yet.
Hello Shane,
I am so enjoying being with my parents and siblings. It has been such a long time since we have been together. The time is getting short, though, and next week I return to Ohio and my children and grandsons. In many ways it is a win-win situation. Family all around.
Thank you for your prayers. I received a letter from Donna's sister yesterday and they are having a tough time with her sudden passing. The world lost a little of its light.
Please continue to pray for them if you can. Lots of tough things ahead.
How are you getting on? I've been thinking about you guys and praying for your health and welfare. I am so sorry to hear that Melody's dad is not improving.
Please take good care of yourself.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while.
I'm going good, thank you. Thank you for your prayers. I continue to pray for Donna.
I'm so happy to hear that you're having a great time with family. So important.
Take care

Re: The Lord doesn't want me yet.
((((((Shane)))))) and here's one for (((((((Melody)))))) too.
It is a great morning now after reading you are doing good. Have you guys settled back into Aussie life again? I keep hearing it has been a cold winter there this year. As Donna would be saying now..."only one more month of winter." I used to get annoyed when she'd say that as I love winter and suffer or lol think I am suffering in summer's heat. now I smile...
Thank you for your prayers for Donna and her family. They help as last I heard from Donna's sister, the family was moving forwards. That, of course, does not mean she will be forgotten, but they are past the shock anyway of the loss and actively taking steps to live on and try to be a part of life.
I continue to keep you guys close and in prayer. I have come to realize distance doesn't matter with spirit.
Take care you both,
xxSandy

Yes it has been a cold Winter here and it's not over yet.
We have settled in here at home. In saying that we are planning to go back to Japan around 4th November. I say we, myself, Melody and Santa. I have to go back before the 9th to keep my visa alive.
I hope it starts to cool down a little for you soon. Thank you for your prayers.
Shane.
