"For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." 2 Cor. 1:5
We lost a good man yesterday. He was my allergist, he was a long-time friend to the Chism family, he was a brother and a son, he was a husband, and a father to 2 sweet girls--ages 20 months and 6. I can't help but speak of him today, my heart is so heavy for this family. 7 years ago his father died from a tragic car accident, his mother now must grieve the loss of her son, 34 years old. Unspeakable grief. I was sick with respiratory issues when I was pregnant with Eli, and he kept me afloat. He was so good to me, fitting me in when he was busy, and calling me to check on how I was doing. When Eli had an allergic reaction to eggs on the way to visit my family in Houston, it was Dr. Lewis who calmed me down and assured me that he would be okay. He was a great doctor-- he really did care about his patients. We still don't know what happened, only that he collapsed at work and they couldn't get him back. I ask for your prayers for the Lewis family. There are no words to describe the grief that they face--especially this mother of 2 small children and his mother who has allready suffered so much in this life--"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." Psalm 91:4
