I can see this as if it were yesterday. Terry is lying on the operating room table. Her abdomin is literraly sliced open while the doctors are trying to remove the baby. I am standing next to her bedside looking over the screen they place just above Terry’s chest so she can't see what is happening.
I remember what this scene was like some 8 years prior. Terry was shaking with fear and terrified of the unknown. This time, though, while her blood spilled forth she was reciting scripture and was at total peace. On one side of the screen was the worst scene of literal blood and guts and the other total serenity and peace. Even as the doctors removed little Raquel from the womb and feverishly tried to save her life, Terry was praising God and quoting scripture.
I thought to myself…this isn't real. Lord you are amazing. My wife is such a testimony to me.
