My dad and brothers had to go to California today to go and take care of some business. They have worked very little since Marks accident. They have not left the hospital often since this has happened. I know my Dad and brothers did not want to leave Mark, I know they did not have a choice. This hurt them all very deeply. I know this is not what my Dad wanted to do. It is what he had to do. I pray they can get their work done quickly so they can come to be with Mark. Mark misses them and is asking for all of them. Mark loves them all very much and they love him with all their hearts. God you have blessed us with a very close family.
Hank and I went to go see Mark last night. My Mom and Bob Hazel were in the hall way waiting for Mark to finish up some things. Ronnie was in the room with Mark. Hank went in to go see if he could help in any way. When Mark was done we went in to see him. Mark looks stronger every day. He has alot more control over his hands. They are moving more smoothly now, he has gained alot more strength in his hands and alot more control. Hank ask Mark if he could lift his legs Mark showed us he could. He did it alot easier then I thought he would. When Mark has to get up to do anything it takes alot out of him. Mark's body does alot of jerking when stimulated. Mark does seem to get frustrated from the jerking. His legs have a hard time staying on the ground or the foot rest on the wheelchair. They do alot of jumping up and down. This is very hard to watch because we see how exhausting it is for Mark. Just moving from his bed to the wheelchair completely wears him out. Something that would be easy for us to do, is very difficult for Mark. So many times we take little things that we can do that takes very little effort for granted. We do not appreciate the health we have until we no longer have it.
Hank was asking Mark about a person that they had work for in Montana this man was a Senator at one time. He asked Mark if he remembered Senator David James and Mark said yes. This is a man that they had work for for many years starting when Hank was fifteen years old and Mark was fourteen. Hank was seeing if Mark could remembered him and he did. This was the very beginning of a lifetime friendship between Hank and Mark. Hank loves Mark very deeply, and Mark loves Hank! When we left the hospital Hank told me he was having a hard time seeing Mark. My brother is not completely better yet. I know he will be in time. I know he is going to be better then before. Mark is going to have a new life. Mark gets to start fresh. How nice it would be. I know any one of us can start a new life through Jesus Christ our Savior. We can all start over and start living our life for Christ. I have found thought Christ, life is truly worth living. I know thought Jesus I have true Peace and a real Joy. I know thought Jesus I have a purpose and meaning. Thr ough you O Lord life is worth living, life is eternal there is no end. With You I have a beginning. Allow Your purpose to be my purpose.
