Kindness


I am so amazed at the love and kindness that has been poured out on my family at this difficult time. I hope that I can be as kind to people when they are going through a challenging time in their life. Since moving into our new house I haven't really had the time to get to really know our neighbors and ward members. One example of the many acts of kindness that has been poured out on me personally is a woman in my ward approached me at church and had heard about my families situation. Her best friend is my parents best friends daughter in law, small world!! Anyway, she offered to take Cruz whenever. I took her up on the offer on July 10th. I had to help my mom out and get ready for a shower I was having at our house. She has 4 kids and Cruz loved playing with her kids. It was so kind of her to take him. But not only that, her friend that knows my parents is a professional photographer and she came over and took some pictures of Cruz. It was all a surprise to me, and Jen, the girl in my ward came and brought me a disk with some pictures of Cruz on it and one picture blown up for me to go and frame and give to my dad. I started crying when she gave me the picture.....it was so thoughtful of both woman and so kind.

Kelly-

I've been absent from blogland for a while and I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad almost died in February and I was a mess.

I am SO GLAD that there are new friends and neighbors there to help meet your needs...emotional and physical. I wish I could be there. Your family will be in my prayers.
