Of it but the faith comes and then the scans are the evidence

Profile that he had isaiah 4031 and that scripture i mean cry

Because i have never been able to run or walk and not not got

To run or walk and not not got tired and think that when you
00:29:40.803 --> 00:29:44.040
Tired and think that when you have chronic disease when you
00:29:44.173 --> 00:29:44.740
Have chronic disease when you close your eyes being free you
00:29:44.874 --> 00:29:47.443
Close your eyes being free you think about not not getting

Every day text messaging and then it turned into everyday
00:30:01.891 --> 00:30:02.491
Then it turned into everyday phone calls and we talked about

Life, talked about our lungs, talked about health.
00:30:07.029 --> 00:30:09.832
Talked about health. but the most important thing
00:30:09.965 --> 00:30:10.533
But the most important thing that was the best part of
00:30:10.666 --> 00:30:12.835
That was the best part of before we hung out we we prayed
00:30:12.968 --> 00:30:16.839
Before we hung out we we prayed every night and it's not
00:30:16.972 --> 00:30:17.540
Every night and it's not something that i had ever done
00:30:17.673 --> 00:30:21.210
Something that i had ever done before with anybody from the

Health started to decline. it wasn't long before to

Breathe and was told he needed another transplant were nights
00:30:48.003 --> 00:30:51.307
Another transplant were nights where i felt the fluid in my

Where i felt the fluid in my lungs just bubbling up i
00:30:52.208 --> 00:30:54.944
Lungs just bubbling up i couldn't breathe and you know
00:30:55.077 --> 00:30:55.644
Couldn't breathe and you know you just don't know am i?

For it, thanking him for the doctors, him for our new life,
00:31:00.649 --> 00:31:02.651
Doctors, him for our new life, thanking him for our love for

Thanking him for our love for each other, thanking what was
00:31:03.486 --> 00:31:06.388
Each other, thanking what was going to happen in the future
00:31:06.522 --> 00:31:07.156
Going to happen in the future for the perfect lungs we had so
00:31:07.289 --> 00:31:09.525
For the perfect lungs we had so praying for us that we knew it
00:31:09.658 --> 00:31:10.459
Praying for us that we knew it was going to happen.
00:31:10.593 --> 00:31:11.026
Was going to happen. we just didn't just didn't know
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.497
We just didn't just didn't know when frank had already survived
00:31:14.630 --> 00:31:15.231
When frank had already survived a double lung transplant and
00:31:15.364 --> 00:31:17.967
A double lung transplant and two separate kidney transplants
00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:18.734
Two separate kidney transplants despite his doctors warnings
00:31:18.868 --> 00:31:21.871
Despite his doctors warnings that another double lung
00:31:22.004 --> 00:31:22.505
That another double lung procedure would be dangerous.
00:31:22.638 --> 00:31:23.239
Procedure would be dangerous. the deep love for his wife
00:31:23.372 --> 00:31:26.008
The deep love for his wife compelled him to step out in
00:31:26.142 --> 00:31:26.775
Compelled him to step out in faith and have the surgery.
00:31:26.909 --> 00:31:29.612
Faith and have the surgery. the moment i saw him i was
00:31:29.745 --> 00:31:30.579
The moment i saw him i was taken back by all the machines
00:31:30.713 --> 00:31:32.948
Taken back by all the machines .
00:31:33.082 --> 00:31:33.182
. he looked so so small and
00:31:33.315 --> 00:31:33.916
He looked so so small and fragile in there but there was
00:31:34.049 --> 00:31:37.386
Fragile in there but there was a calmness in the room and i
00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:38.154
A calmness in the room and i walked in and laid, laid my

Walked in and laid, laid my hand on him and he opened his

Hand on him and he opened his eyes and he looked at me and
00:31:42.291 --> 00:31:44.593
Eyes and he looked at me and and it was almost like that
00:31:44.727 --> 00:31:45.361
And it was almost like that first look when we looked at
00:31:45.494 --> 00:31:46.128
First look when we looked at each other when i met him and i
00:31:46.262 --> 00:31:48.597
Each other when i met him and i knew that he was in there he
00:31:48.731 --> 00:31:49.365
Knew that he was in there he was okay.

Then from there on i just knew that we were going to take it
00:31:56.739 --> 00:31:57.373
That we were going to take it day by day until i was able to
00:31:57.506 --> 00:32:00.042
Day by day until i was able to get back out.

00:32:18.494 --> 00:32:19.161
Needed to do it really quickly. i still still had all these
00:32:19.295 --> 00:32:22.097
I still still had all these feelings about what frank went
00:32:22.231 --> 00:32:22.831
Feelings about what frank went through the recovery from post

Heaven and a new earth. but that one too is not
