It started on Monday November 12th with a good friend of mine from high school posting on Facebook that her little girl had to be taken emergency C section and she was struggling... then by Thursday she had posted they were letting her go. She had, some how, gotten a brain injury while in the womb and since being born she had yet to open her eyes or breathe on her own... they had decided the next morning they would say goodbye to her. So Friday she posted her amazing testimony as they said goodbye to her perfect, precious, beautiful little girl. I am amazed at the strength she had at this time of trial for them, she is so strong in the gospel to be able to be positive while it is happening.

That news was followed by Curtis calling me from work to tell me that he got in a fight with a lawnmower and it won... he was in the emergency room with lacerations to the index and middle fingers on his left hand (which is his dominant hand) he ended up loosing his fingernails on both fingers, he broke the bone in his index finger with a hairline fracture in his middle finger and had to get over 20 stitches. My poor man can't do much for himself I have to help him eat, get dressed and tie his shoes... He has at least 6 weeks of recovery. Then therapy to follow... poor guy! *WARNING* I posted pictures of his exposed fingers if you are squeamish just skip over them... they aren't too bad but just in case.

The bad news ended with finding out a friend of mine died while duck hunting with his 2 friends on Saturday... they were on the Great Salt Lake when the weather changed and caused huge waves that capsized the boat and one of his friends hurried to swim to shore to get help, but my friend Chad and his best friend Logan chose to stay with the boat. The water was only 47 degrees, and they ended up getting hypothermia and they passed together... poor Logan he leaves behind his wife and 2 children. Chad was and is such a great person he was a friend to all those who knew him and was the friendliest guy. I know he is doing a great work in Heaven and that Heavenly Father wouldn't have taken him from us so young if he didn't need him for something bigger and better.

Well as the saying goes bad things come in 3's so I'm done right? I sure hope so I'm not sure I can take much more bad news... All I can say is that I am so thankful for the true gospel in my life... it doesn't make the pain go away completely but it helps to ease the pain some.
