I have been greatly blessed with good people in my life. I need to start with my wonderful family. When I first started falling and tripping, they were there to pick me up. When diagnosis finally came, we all cried together. My 3 brothers and 3 sister have all helped me any way they could. The prayers and sweet letters on my behave were felt so strongly and helped me overcome my fears. My husband Brian has been wonderful. My mom has helped so much. She's cleaned, cooked and countless other things. She even let me stay with her while the house was being remodeled, which took about 4 weeks. She's a temple worker and just recently helped me go through a session and even being my voice for me. She still helps with laundry almost every week. We all love this 81 year old mother.
In summer of 2009, Ward members signed up to take me to the temple and it was so fun with these ladies. Friends, neighbors and ward members put in countless hours cleaning and organizing during and after the remodel. Tarra, Daniel, and their 2 kids Kelsy and Joshua moved in with us in October 2009. The timing couldn't have been better because that was the same time my legs didn't want to work any more. I couldn't write enough on the countless hours they put in to help run our house hold. Even 3 year old Kelsy is so willing to help. She is definitly a special child. The lawn and garden have never looked better because of Daniel's magic touch.
This year we have hired a cleaning service to help with our bedroom and bathroom. We got an angel named Jan. She cleans so well I don't want to lose her. She will always be a special friend. Then there's Kelsey, a nurses aid that helps on Tuesday bath day and Thursday for a few hours to help take the burden off Brian. Both these ladies are a godsend.
Mandee, my daughter who lives with her husband and 2 dogs, Annie and Ally in West Jordan, also helps when she can. Yesterday she cleaned out our van and wants to clean the truck and car too.
