Yesterday my best friends fiancé went in to have a tumor removed from his brain. It had been causing hearing loss and other unexplained symptoms, and was discovered by accident when a routine appendectomy had complications that caused him to flatline.

The silver lining of that intense moment was discovering the tumor so it could be removed before additional, irreversible problems developed.

The surgery took 14 hours, but it seems everything went as well as it could have gone. He’s got a lot of recovery ahead.

I’ll say that these real world examples of things that at face value seem bad but over time prove to be a blessing are why I believe in a higher power. Even if I’m not so sure about religion itself.

Miracles happen. 🙏
