June 4 - Finally, After 7 Months...

Sunday was simply a wonderful day. I was able to take Barbara to church at GFM for the firs time in over 7 months! It was a VERY emotional moment as I wheeled her into the sanctuary for the first time in a long time. Then, as people began filtering in, you would have though a celebrity was present. We followed that with a meal at our favorite Mexican restaurant. After a full day, I took Barbara back to Millers and we were both completely exhausted. But what an outstanding day it was. Our plan is, as long as she feels up to it, I will pick her up for church every Sunday.

You will notice that I'm including a few more shots from the wedding. I hope you enjoy them. The lady with Barbara in the first picture is Peter's mom, Jeannie. I thought this was an excellent picture, especially of Barbara's winning smile. Jeannie and her husband Terry have become such good distant friends in the short time we've communicated with them. Barbara and I look forward to getting to know them better in the future, despite the distance of states between us.

Barbara will be visiting home again on Tuesday afternoon as some people from Miller's come to do a home assessment. This will help us evaluate just what needs to be done in anticipation of her coming home in early July.

Please continue to pray that Barbara makes marked improvements each day,

That this will be the week that she walks,

And that I am able to hold up strength and emotional-wise (I have really been run-down in both respects recently - the months are really catching up with me!).

I tell Barbara I love her a multiple of times every day. But I'm not sure I've said that to you yet. So, please know that I do love you and care deeply about you as well. Just as we have been in your prayers, to the extent that I'm knowledgeable about your needs, you too are in my prayers.
