Thursday December. 11th.2008 Back home

I went to Phoenix AZ. to go see my husband Hank on business. I was gone for six days, this was a very nice vacation for me. I enjoyed my self very much! The weather was beautiful and I was able to visit some family and friends while I was their. Another thing I was able to do was go to a niece of ours baby shower. I was able to meet some people that had been praying for my brother Mark . This was a true blessing for me because I was able to tell then how well Mark was doing, but most important I was able to thank them for all their prays for my brother. Each and everyone person I met was telling me that they were praying for Mark daily. I wish I could express the gratitude I felt. I know I have said this before but I would like to tell everyone thank you again. Thank You! Thank You! Thank you! From the bottom of my heart! Your prays mean so much! I know God here's them all!

When I arrived home my sister Lilly picked me up, I was very happy to see her and the kids! Lilly took me home so I could see my kids. I have missed them deeply . I got lots of good love's when I got home!

Me and the Kids went up to see Mark during are visiting hours. When I walk in the room Mark did not seem to be in the best mood. I ask Mark what was wrong he did not say much so I ask him if he wanted to pray. Mark said, that would be nice. Lilly,my girl Emily and I held Marks hands. Mark started to pray on his own. Mark ask God to watch out for his Family, and then he thank the Lord for all he has done for them. Then Mark said, Thank you God for all the Love You have for us! Marks prayers come from his Heart, he knows that God loves him and everyone! After Mark prayed his hole mood changed. Mark was happier then when I first walked in the room. We talked about what everyone was doing, Mark also got to talk to our brothers Charles and Sunnie on the phone. Mark told Sunnie that they belonged together just like pees and carrots, and then Charles ask what about me. Mark said, Charles could be the broccoli. and Mark Laughed knowing he was teasing Charles. Mark told then that he missed then and the boys told Mark they would be up soon to see him. Mark said, good I can't wait to see you.

Our Dad has been going back and fourth a lot from Boise to California, Dad is coming back today my girl Rena is driving back with him. My Dad is having a hard time staying in California he can not stay a way very long from Mark. Dad told me he can not get his mined on work, all he thinks about is Mark. All the places My Dad works are place My brother and Dad have worked in the past and every where my Dad goes reminds him of Mark. My Dad is going to have to go back to California before Christmas and take care of a few things then come back to Boise for Christmas. This has to be taking a big toll on my Dad just the mental aspect of everything alone would do it!

Nicky Trail and Dewey Trail came into town to see Mark. Uncle Nicky brought Mark that Hat he promised Mark. What a nice looking hat it is a beautiful chocolate brown hat old fashion just like our great uncles and granddads hats, Mark really likes it allot. Mark looks really handsome in it. Mark is really happy to see Uncle Nicky And Dewey. Both of these men are good friends of Mark, not only are they good friends they always have allot of fun when they are around each other. Uncle Nicky always has a big smile on his face he also tells wonderful stories. Uncle Nicky has called Mark sparky from a young age. Mark has so many actions like uncle Nicky you can really tell they are related. They even look a lot like. Mark smile reminds me of Uncle Nicky!

Dewey has always been very good to me and Mark. The first time I ever drove a car was with Dewey It was my birthday and I turned 13 years old Dewey (about eighteen years old) told me it was time for me to drive. Dewey told me to get in Aunt Pollys ( Deweys Moms) car he was going to teach me how to drive. I did, I got in my Aunts car in the drivers seat Dewey got in the Passengers seat as I started to back out in my aunts car, my aunt came running out of the house screaming at Dewey to stop . Dewey told me to keep going, I did not know what to do. Dewey can be pretty persuasive. My aunt Polly kept halloaing stop but Dewey Kept saying GO ON GO ON GO ON!!!!! I listen to Dewey I got to drive for the first time in my life I will never forgot that experience! My aunt was not mad at me like I thought she would be when we got back but Dewey got a earful! My cousin Dewey is still a big kid at heart! Mark I know has many found memories as I do with Dewey!
