Ryan's doctor spoke important words...recharge yourselves so you can be there for your family. <br /><br />When my husband lost his leg 12 years ago, I had this quote on my fridge and read it daily for about 5 years. What you are going through is SOOO much more than what we went through, but President Hinckley's comforting words somehow helped me through each day during some rough times. <br /><br />"It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." <br /><br />Priesthood Session of Jordan Utah South Regional Conference, March 1, 1997Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176135847163018311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050454783329206238.post-8546414941462207922010-08-07T11:13:02.998-07:002010-08-07T11:13:02.998-07:00i'm so grateful you have so many around you he...i'm so grateful you have so many around you helping bear your burden. so glad you'll have your brother and sister with you this week!! love you all so much!<br />xooxkatie jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625492363680310183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050454783329206238.post-84102394719553779612010-08-07T10:33:31.897-07:002010-08-07T10:33:31.897-07:00That all makes me cry.

I am so thankful for all of the thoughtful and hugely supportive acts from Maidy, Chad, your sibs and countless neighbors, friends, and probably a few loving strangers to you too. I love you Julie and Ryan and keep you in my heart and prayers everyday. It was a real treat to know your little boys and play hard together recently. My boys have asked daily if they can play with their California cousins since we got home. Love, RachRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920412575806600616noreply@blogger.com
