FAMILY and FRIENDS, LAUGHTER and TEARS

The house has been full of friends coming and going all day and evening yesterday. Everyone has been so kind and understanding leaving some alone time for me and the kids. It's a wonderful, warm-filled house. Sully gets out his toys and Stella is always checking on her Boppa and telling him stories. Dave is resting comfortably and will sometime respond with a hand-squeeze, slight smile or a lifting of his brows.

I had a good night's sleep leaving Eric, Molly, Angela, D.J. and Paul in charge. It was a good time for the cousins to laugh, cry and reminisce. Niece, Camie, came in the afternoon and made a big pot of chicken and noodles and boy was that good.

Today is another day, another gift, which again will be filled with love, hope and promise. Please send out special prayers for our daughter, Rachel, and her family. They are unable to be here at this time, but we communite throughout the day. I know how hard this is on them being away, so prayers of strength and peace and love would be appreciated. God bless!

GOOD MORNING

It is so nice being at home with Dave. No more prodding and pokes, only a lot of love and comfort. I am amazed at how God has provided me with the strength and privilege to have this quiet time with Dave. Honestly, I was afraid to bring him home, afraid of not being able to "do the right thing" or that I would make a mistake. I, however, feel comforted because I now truly realize that we are in this together, Dave and I, and our family and many remarkable friends. God is good and has a plan, a wonderful plan, and I thank him.

Please continue your prayers for Dave and our family. It isn't easy, but you couldn't ask for a better outcome. Love to all

I'm just letting everyone know that my dad is going home today. The WF ambulance crew is picking him up from the hospital at 4pm and will take him home. Family, friends and hospice will be taking care of him. Prayers for PEACE right now........... -Molly

TAKE OFF!!!!!!!

Tomorrow morning we head for home. A transport ambulance will pick us up at 10 a.m. here at the hospital, take us to Boeing Field where we will board an air ambulance and head to the Flathead where Dave will be admitted to Kalispell Regional Medical Center. We are both very excited and Dave promises me he will eat when we get to Kalispell. He is so thin, but he has been this thin before, so I'll try not to worry too much. He has lost his hair again, but he is as handsome as ever!

Rachel, Bob and kids were here again this weekend and we hated to see them go back to Oregon. It has been so nice having them here every other weekend.

It was bitter/sweet leaving the SCCA House as I left behind some great friends, but I know we will keep in touch.

Hopefully, I will get some good photos tomorrow as it should be a Kodak day.
