It stayed hidden in my bag while I fought off the strongest urges to pull it out and take ONE photo. Just one. I&#8217;d look so inappropriate. I&#8217;d look so disrespectful. I&#8217;d look like a cold-hearted, stupid girl. Except it&#8217;s not like that. All I really want to do is document this moment so that when you&#8217;re better, you can look back and tell a brave story. After all, that&#8217;s what I love about taking photos &#8211; the documentation of events in life, big and small. I&#8217;d document your battle and then eventually, your victory, too.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I followed the rules and etiquette around heavy events like these and kept my camera in my bag, and even though it&#8217;s not a photo of your brave self in the intensive care room hooked up to just about every drug possible, I discretely pulled out my iPhone and quickly sneaked this shot on the way out. It&#8217;s not even close to the right photo, but it&#8217;s better than nothing. Taken today, blogged about today, the same day you were taken into intensive care. That&#8217;s a good start, I think.<\/p>\n<p>My gut tells me that you&#8217;re going to make it with flying colours. You&#8217;ve done this many times before. I&#8217;m not worried. And I&#8217;m especially not worried because God is with you no matter what happens. That alone, is enough for a peace of mind. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/charleneprecious.com\/blog\/youre-a-figher-and-youre-going-to-be-okay-april-28-2011\/04-28-11\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6351\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/04.28.11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"04.28.11\" width=\"612\" height=\"612\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/04.28.11.jpg 612w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/04.28.11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/04.28.11-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>You&#039;re a fighter and you&#039;re going to be okay. - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/youre-a-figher-and-youre-going-to-be-okay-april-28-2011\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"You&#039;re a fighter and you&#039;re going to be okay. - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The nurses were watching me so I was too afraid to take out my camera and capture YOU in this battle.
