I came home from the hospital to find the yard festooned with pink ribbons the significance of which brought tears to my eyes. Thank you secret sneak. He will see it all soon.

     Mother took great care that I never missed a day of school through grade school, junior high and high school so that I could get that 100% attendance certificate at the end of each school year. I am sure that I spread every communicable disease that a child could impart to her fellows in the accomplishment of that attendance. Weekends and summer vacations were the times for flu, measles and so forth.  True to form, Mother has got to be behind this.

     Richard will come home Wednesday, and school begins Thursday. My children and friends will be tending my dear husband for a few weeks on the days when I am working while he gets stronger and becomes independent.
    
     The rapidity of his homecoming and recuperation is a miracle. We have been carried on your prayers. They have been tangibly helping us through the shock, trauma, and now his miraculous recovery. I feel very deeply and have since the beginning of the blog, that there are those who are reading this who will feel the spirit, gain a testimony of the power of prayer, and come to know our Savior better because of all of this. Maybe it is just that we needed to, but dear readers, maybe it is you.

     Richard enjoys your calls. Thank you for your friendship. We will all be changed for the better.
