Beginning the Journey
Jamie and I arrived back home a week later with a lot of memories. I carried our luggage into our house while Jamie checked our messages. Our course, one from my mom saying she wanted us to come over for dinner soon, then my dad asking about our honeymoon, Jamie's dad to check on us, and last was Eric. He wanted to get together sometime that summer. I wrapped my arms around Jamie and kissed her cheek. "So, what do you want for dinner?" I asked her.
Jamie thought for a minute. "Hmmm, I don't care. Surprise me Carter." She looked up at me and kissed my nose. I laughed and walked into the kitchen. I fixed up spaghetti and set the table. "Oh something smells good." Jamie walked in and took a seat. We blessed the food and started eating. In the middle of the meal, Jamie said, "Oh, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 1:30."
I nodded. "That's right." I looked down at my food. I could feel Jamie's eyes bearing into me.
"Landon, look at me." I wouldn't look up, so she came over to me, placed her hands on my face, and brought my eyes up to her's. "Landon, whatever happens happens. I love you with all my heart and thank God every day for bring you into my life. Now, there is going to be a time, probably very soon, that I'll have to go join him in heaven. There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven, a time to be born and a time to die."
Tears slid down my face as she said that verse. I engulfed her in a hug. "I know Jamie, I know."
I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for Jamie's appointment to end. The doctor came out and asked if I could join them in his office. I walked in and took a seat by Jamie.
The doctor looked at us and smiled. "I don't know how this happened, especially after your spell, but it looks like your cancer has taken a turn. It looks like you have over two years to live Jamie."
We sat there stunned. I couldn't move until Jamie gave me a big hug. I picked her up and spun her around. I couldn't believe it! It was all I could every want!
That night, I watched Jamie fall asleep, after we celebrated with our parents and then by ourselves. I got up and went to the window. I found Jamie star and swear it winked at me. Then I looked up and said a little prayer. "God, thank you so much! This is such a blessing. Thank you for everything." I went back to bed and kissed Jamie on the forehead and went to sleep, peacefully.
