An invisible strenth

Belém, April 22th 2013

I'm sorry I couldn't write more frequently. The master course i'm trying to finish became very demanding and the last months my grand aunt  got very sick. She is diabetic, has high blood pressure and the doctors found out her kidney is no more so efficient as it used to be so that she had some frequent visits in the hospital.
Well, because of her kidney she entered the intensive care unit of one of the hospitals here in Belém since tuesday. She had a slight improvement in her health the couple of days after and then she suffered a cardiac arrest, and was intubated. She is now controlled in this event, although she went into a coma. I must admit it's not something so pleasant to see a beloved relative in this situation, and if i didn't believe in God maybe I'd blame him for it. But although my family is not sure she will come back, I'm sure God is i charge.

Well, the intention of the blog is not necessarily to share things about my personal life, but to make reflections and analysis of things in general. But i was surprised when during the visits I'm going i saw a lady of about 70 with difficulties to walk. she uses crutches. her husband is in the Intensive care unit around 4 monthes, and this lady, named Dona Bebé, visits him twice a day, in the programmed visits. Her sons don't have courage to see their father because they consider he doesn't get better. On the other hand, Dona Bebé can feel he is getting better daily, even in a discreet way.
What make me astonished is her mood, her joy, her strengh to face all this challenge... What moves an old lady to see her husband everyday always with a smile in her face? What makes her to realize the discreets improvements of his health while others don't see? What makes her go every to the hospital with difficulties to walk just to see the man she choose to be hers? What strengh does this woman have?
The conclusion i can draw is that her invisible strengh can be Love. Love alone can move people to give themselves, and even to forget themselves. Was Dona Bebé feeling pain due to her condition? Was she feeling abandoned by her sons because they didn't come?
I was thinking that i'm a 28 years old man full of energy, stamina, and sometimes with the smallest obstacle I consider something difficult or even impossible. Maybe you also find yourself many times like me, considering your challenges tough to overcome. I hope God show you another Dona Bebé
