SPRING

Yes, I know most of the country is already in bloom. I'm just thrilled to see the tulips coming up over at the store and little green blades of grass coming up. The only thing I'm not so excited about is the kids staying up way too late because of the longer days.
I'm trying to be in spring cleaning mode but feel like the rest of my family is conspiring to get me committed to a facility with padded walls. Not to worry I have my ways of forced cooperation:)
Even if it is just today things feel right with the world. I hope all my loyal readers have a FABULOUS week.

Why is it weddings and funerals

I'm here in Logan,UT to bury my youngest brother, and wondering why it sometimes takes a wedding or a funeral to bring family members together? Yesterday was a very long hard day of waiting. Ryan is an organ donor and even though we all knew he was gone no one wanted to say goodbye, it was a long wait while receipiants were flown in. If you are an organ donor please, tell your family members. The doctors were able to place both lungs, both kidneys, his liver and pancreas. I know there are several families who are very grateful that Ryan made that choice, and I'm comforted that this may save someone the pain and sorrow of the lose of a loved one. For that Ryan Leishman, a 20 year-old is my hero. I've learned two things this week organ donation is a hard thing, but good and seatbelts save lives. CLICK it everytime.

The good with the bad.

I'm not one to ask for personal favors but I'm asking for your prayers now. I just received a call that my youngest brother was in a car accident and is not expexted to make it through the night. I thank everyone who reads this in advance for your thoughts and concern.
