We have arrived!

With a few hours sleep and coffee in hand, we are settling into the Camelia waiting area of MD Anderson hospital.
Mom has been moved back into the surgery waiting area. I think the plan is for surgery to begin around 8am.
We listened to Rich Mullins in the car and sang "Awesome God" together. It was good traveling music for us, as it has always been. We heard Rich's music playing the soundtrack for our many trips to Colorado. It conjurs up great memories of family time in the mountains and good feelings.

We listened this morning as the next song played, it's lyrics were fitting:

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

Oh God, you are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

We prayed together and thanked God for this journey and what He's teaching us all.
