Last Sunday night, our phone rang after 9pm. Doug answered and a guy said his name was Sam and he was the dental student who helped Doug give a blessing to Blayne when he was 13 days old and up at Doernbecker Hospital. WHAT? We were so excited to hear from him! Doug put him on speaker phone and Sam's wife was listening in on his end also. He just wanted to know how Blayne was doing. I called Blayne on my cell phone and he got to listen & speak also. We were all in tears as Sam related their memories of that time and some things afterwards. We were truly humbled to hear his version and was so happy that he got in touch with us. It makes us appreciate our many blessings and the people who have touched our lives! Most of all, we are so thankful for Blayne and his time with us. We didn't know back then when he was so sick how long he would live or if he would live; but we were blessed with a peacefulness that we knew the Lord was in charge and everything would be ok. And it has been!!! Sam's call brought back many tender mercies of that time and since then. Thanks, Sam, for calling and helping us to remember those precious moments as young parents. Thanks for your helping "hands" and your worthiness; being at the right time and the right place! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers & thoughts all these years!
We have had a good, but busy weekend. Sean called Friday night and talked with Doug. Good to hear from him! Doug has had a lot of homework to finish. Worked yesterday and then attended our Stake Conference last night at church. It was sooo good! Love the counsel from our inspired leaders! Made taco soup for dinner. Blayne & Aerin went to see Jake, Ashley & their family for the weekend; so we went over and took care of their dog for them. Glad they returned home safely! We got to talk with Brenton and family last night. Kingston is really trying to talk a lot now and poor Chayse is down sick with a cold. We really miss them; but glad they are getting settled into their new home.
