A new right knee
I love my knees. They have been good friends throughout my life. Running, jumping, climbing, skating, skiing, lots and lots of cleaning, lots of walking, discovering new things. I took them for granted. They were always there. Always supporting me and giving me the ability to do things. But now they are tired, worn out, broken down, they have screamed with pain and with "enough already" so I am going to give them what they require. I don't know what they do with the knees once they replace them but I wanted to give them a little ceremony. First for the right one because "he/she" is going first. Thank you knee for your kind service to me. I appreciate and love you and am so grateful we have been together all these years. No one can replace you in my life. They will try....they will function somewhat the way you used to but never quite as perfectly as God intended-you had a unique purpose in my life- but nonetheless I am grateful that someone will take your place and allow me to function normally again and you to rest in peace. Thank you Lord for the utter complexity of knees that are there for us and yet because they work so well we forget about them until its too late! I trust you with my old knee and with my new! May your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!
