I am leaving to see my brother a week from tomorrow. He is having surgery on the 27th and my mother has asked me to go with her. My husband isn't to excited about the whole thing. He is worried that I will get there and not be welcome. He is afraid that thing will turn south and I will be stuck because he won't be able to come rescue me. He hates not being able to rescue me and, because he is my knight in shining armor, he become especially angry if he feels that I am being miss treated.
I am going because this is my brother and I love him. I figure some day in the not too distant future there will be a funeral that we will have to attend together and we need to have some kind of civil relationship if we are going to get through that time. So I keep opening the door and hoping that he will step through. So far he hasn't but I live in hope.
My pastor's wife says take my bible and remember to pray, (a given.) She also recommended reading the 91st Psalm every night. I think I will take her up on that one.
I asked my husband if he really didn't want me to go. I wasn't sure how I would make my excuses, but if he wanted me home I would. He said that he knew that I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and that while he didn't like it, he knew that he had more wiggle room than me. So I'm going. Pray for me.

My dear friend, I will be surrounding you with prayers and love. I understand how you feel, my brothers will not have anything to do with me. All we can do is pray for them.
Are you back yet?
