MARK & STEPHANIE,
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS, HEARTS AND PRAYERS. RICK IS GOING THROUGH HOME TEACHING WITHDRAWAL. WE ARE REMINDED OF THE OPENING SCENE OF RICKS FAVORITE MOVIE 'ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE', WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE OF BEDFORD FALLS ARE PRAYING FOR GEORGE BAILEY. DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN ANGEL NAMED CLARENCE PEABODY, BUT WE ARE SURE YOU HAVE MANY ANGELS BOTH SPIRITUAL AND MORTAL DOING ALL THEY CAN FOR BOTH OF YOU. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN BOTH OF YOU CAN COME HOME.
Finally I understand how to post on the blog, thanks sis!
Well I have keep up with all the updates but today I was excited to see what transpired yesterday! WOW! What a kiss that had to be! I am anxiously waiting on coming home to help and support you all with more than just prayers. I have prayed until it hurts! I know God's hand is there and I continue to pray for his strength and mercy for everyone. There are no words to express my love and gratitude to the people that have cared and supported Mark, Stephanie, and the Boys in this season. My heart is eternally grateful for each of you! Tell Mark, I love Him and can't for him to pick on me again. And for whomever is with Steph, please slip her a hot chocolate peanut butter milkshake for me and give her a tight hug from her little sis, but don't pat her back when you hug her she doesn't like when I do that.
Steph, I will be home by Sunday this week, Lord willing. I'll chat with you soon. WITH SO MUCH LOVE FROM THE ISLANDS!!!!!
OH, you have NO IDEA (second thought you might) how wonderful it is to hear that Mark is sitting in a chair, kissing his beautiful wife, and talking to the boys. My heart is overwhelmed! I hope this day brings even more for all of us!!!
I had not realized how much I was hoping for something like this to happen. He is privileged to have such a great group of friends and an awesome family. MOST OF ALL A GREAT WIFE!!!
Stay strong because your rewards are coming even faster now.
Please tell him I miss his voice filling up the sounds of the office. I never realized how much his voice fills the office. I miss you too!!!!
As always, anything you need I am here. I hope to have most of the loose ends tied up today- aircraft overpayment, filing some of the insurance for you, and the gun.
Kearsten, Luke, and Mariena (aka NA NA) continue to pray for your family. NA NA is saying Mark now. I guess if she can say Gomez (her secret crush), she should be able to say Mark.
Mark had a long day today. He was very tired from all his Sunday activities. He was very alert while he was awake but he spent a great deal of time resting. Yes it was an exhausting day for him but he was off the ventilator and up in a chair for several hours. I reluctantly left his room late this afternoon to spend the night at home with Clayson. Luckily Larry Eby was scheduled to visit around 5pm and Darrin Johnson around 7pm. I know that will give Mark's parents and break and lift Mark's spirits. I will be back in the morning.
Stephanie and Mark, I continue to monitor the blog like I did the machines in Mark's room! I can just picture the foot popping kiss, WOW! That is setting a new standard for the rest of the guys to meet. Am thankful, prayerful and in awe of all the wonderful things occuring. Please know we keep you in our thoughts and prayers and are anxious for the chance to come visit! Please let me know when I can come again, and anything down here that I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. The pictures are fun to watch on the blog too! Lots and lots of love to you guys and Praise God! Stephanie Gleason
