All it took was the love of one neighbor

Grateful how one person can really make a difference. One of our neighbors organized dinners to be brought to us for the next week and a half by other neighbors. Last night Teresa brought a very delicious lasagna dish and with fresh steamed broccoli from her garden. My heart is VERY touched with the compassion and generosity of those helping us out. Really its the simple things like that kind action that make all the difference in the world!! Thank you Teresa P. for showing me what compassion really means!!

I'm still in a lot of pain and on crutches. Making a good supper let alone shopping for groceries is a very difficult task right now. It is frustrating - I just want my life back. I will never take for granite what I never thought of before - the very act of walking, running, bending my knees, NO PAIN! Taking from this life lesson, I will take better care of my body. Life is a very precious thing and trust me, I will value it more coming out of the hell we've been through this past year and a half.

I feel bad for my husband Josh, who's enduring chronic kidney stones and coming out of a back surgery this past Spring AND dealing with a wife who's had 3 knee surgeries in a year plus being an amazing father to our babies! Not only is he working his butt off but also gearing back to finish his last year in school. I feel sometimes he gets left out of all the attention. I know how stressed it can be for him. Just trying to find ways to ease that for him, as its equally as frustrating for me as well.
