I found this on my computer-
What a beautiful story!
Your dad (and mom) have a very special place in my heart. They have been supportive of me and my family in many ways. Your dad and mom have always been advocates in the adoption arena. They each share a compassionate understanding of the emotions involved in building a family through adoption and in growing children God’s way. Your dad and I have really bonded and commiserated with each other due to the cardiac issues we have faced. We have had some great talks and compared “notes” (aka, medical records). In addition, he has always supported each and every non-profit fundraiser in which I have been involved. He didn’t have to, he just did because I asked him to. But, by far and away, most important of all, your parents have given us prayer support. I truly believe, that is one of the most important things you can give or do for another person. Those two prayer-warriors have been there in the waiting room praying with my parents through procedure after procedure. During one of my procedures, your dad and mom were there when I awakened from anesthesia. I had some trouble with breathing when I woke up. I grabbed my mom’s hand and told her I could not breath and to get the nurse as I literally gasped for air. Your mom and dad, along with my sister, my parents and Beth (and of course Neil), were there to comfort me during those critical moments. I don’t even know if I am remembering it all very clearly, it was such a terrifying experience. What I do clearly remember is the calm that washed over me as I clung to the cross that Fr. Luke had blessed, which contains a relic of the true cross. Your dad handed it to me right before or maybe it was during this attack. I really think that is what helped me pull through those moments. Your dad knew what I felt because he had suffered a similar incident. I will always remember that and be grateful for their presence there that day.
God bless Uncle Jim (and
Aunt Marie too) J With love and
gratitude, Marianne

John and Westin Westin I’m not sure what Mama Dede would say about the Dodgers, but then she loved her grandchildren fiercely. She didn’t ...
