This is Life - For Brent and Melody Weinhandl


Dr. Weinhandl treating a patient from his wheelchair

One day I learned of an incredible story of a woman married to a paralyzed man.   He became paralyzed in an accident where he saved her life.  As faith and love are inextricable from each other, both could be strongly seen as he did not hesitate for a second in acting on her behalf.  Faith has brought answers to them each day as he strives to recover, and they still work together in the dental practice which they own.  In their trust of God and each other, they live an example that love overcomes any obstacle.  They live the knowledge that from love comes power, and from God comes love.  That is why I wrote.
           

I saw your face...
Your smile and charm,
Took my heart from harm,
As I felt your first embrace.

You held my hand,
And the stars did swirl,
As we entered the world,
As one to make a stand.

I never knew such strength in you I'd find,
Enough to leave my pain and fear behind,
Nothing else I have known could suffice,
For this is life.


You are my all...
For on that day,
You pushed me away,
When that structure did fall.

My love and light...
You paid the price,
And made the sacrifice,
Which has saved my life.

I never knew such strength in you I'd find,
Enough to leave my pain and fear behind,
Nothing else I have known could suffice,
For this is life.


A steadfast strength...
All through the years,
With my joys and fears,
You have loved me all the same.

When all seemed lost...
You did lift me up,
And you filled my cup,
To know life is worth the cost!

I never knew such strength in you I'd find,
Enough to leave my pain and fear behind,
Nothing else I have known could suffice,
For this is life.
