Sunday November 2008 A walk outside

I took the kids to church I was to late to go to our home church so I went to Calvary Chapel it was good, But I some how I manged to be late there to.  I was definitely off on my timing.   After church we headed over to see Mark.  Emily and I got to go in and see Mark.  Mark wanted to go outside and take a walk.  All of the kids were outside in the lobby Mark always lights up when he see them.  My boy Benjamin had a ball Mark wanted to play catch with him. Benjamin started to throw the ball to Mark Mark caught half the balls that Benjamin had thrown to him. Mark also loved throwing the balls hard at Benjamin's head as hard as he could.  Mark laughed as he hit his target a few times.  After Mark was done trying to get a few hits in on Benjamin's head with the ball Mark was ready to go outside.  It was a beautiful day the sun shone bright and it was warmer than usual for this time of year.  Ronnie pushed Mark in his wheelchair,  as we went around back of the hospital Mark asked Benjamin if he would hold his hand as they walk.  As Mark extended his hand to my boy.  I saw how important it is for our children to have these very important role models in their lives.  I was very blessed to have Uncle John as a Godly role model in my life.  I know my kids have Uncles and Aunts that are searching after Gods heart, and it is very important for them as well.

As we were walking Mom and Dad drove up.  The sun was shining so bright that Dad got a pair of his sun glasses out of his truck for Mark.  Dad put the glasses on Marks face.  Mark look handsome in them.  We then decide to go further in our walk.  Dad got to push Mark for a little while ahead of us I was very glad because  Dad was going to have to leave on Monday.  My Dad has told me that he hates to leave.  I also hate to see my Dad go down to California by himself, He has been leaving our Mom here and he does not normally do this.  My Dad loves Mom normally right by his side.  He will be staying in a hotel all by himself.  I cant imagine having to do this, if this was my son.  My Dad has been a good Dad and I know he loves all of us with all of his heart!  Dad would do anything for us!

Mark's girls Nellie and Elaine caught up with us Mark and Ronnie have very good girls we all walked and talked together.  Then Lilly and Uncle John found us we were sitting in the parking lot across the from the hospital.  What a beautiful day Mark was enjoying the sun and all the company he had.  I love watching My Brother smile and tell his stories even if they are all not reality, he is having fun telling them.  They always  connect to the past in some way or another, or there about what he would like to be doing right now.  Today was a very blessed day.
