Family Business

Family needs have filled our time these past weeks. Mom is making progress but it is slowing a bit. Carmen is failing as you can perhaps see in this photo of her. She spends her days on the couch in the family room. She is very into stickers now and fills books with them at a steady pace. We are visiting her at least once a week now. Her parents, Reed and Dorothy, seem to be doing very well managing their family and caring for Carmen. They have a knack for caring, as their many friends attest to with their concern and service. There are so many good people in the world!

Once a month we have an extended Family Home Evening with our local families. Here you can see our gang at Reed and Dorothy's. Now that Ben and his family are here, there are lots of us! I love having much of our family close by.

Our daughter Jessica and her three babes visited us this past week. You can see them above. Jessica spent most of her time at Reed and Dorothy's. This time of family struggle is intensive, but has its blessings. There is a united caring for Carmen, and for my Mom. Both are precious souls, struggling now. I feel blessed to have such personalities in my own family circle. I can see that the people in my life bring much more joy than sorrow.
