(this is my niece, Mary's Daughter, I didn't have a picture of Mary online as of yet, whats best... Erin with her little dog)
I have learned this past week to be happy for the little blessings that come amid a torrent of sadness and worry. My brothers wife has been passing out quite a bit, she went to the doctor and ended up in the ICU on Friday night. It had appeared she had a tumor of sorts connected to her skull. The neurosurgeon that had driven up in the storm to Davis County had stated that he didn't think it was cancer however it still was unknown. She was sent home with an appointment for the Huntsman Cancer Center. She attended her appointment today. She actually has a very rare problem. Apparently when she was a baby in the womb, when her skull formed and closed a piece of skin happened to stay inside. Its not cancer, and it will be a 6 hour operation however, it was the best news I have heard today. Mary is feeling better, however it is always scarey to have this type of surgery. I was talking to my brother today and I told him that it seems our family has been consistently had our bond tested.
I felt this miriad of feelings. My first and fore thought was how grateful I am for the priesthood and heavenly father's love. Our family has gone through so much, however the one thing I know is we all believe in the power of the priesthood blessings. We have clung to blessings with my father and other family members. I just feel so grateful for my heavenly father giving my family opportunities to reap the rewards of these blessings. Our family is one of the strongest families that I know. We are there at a moments notice for anyone and anything. Its during these times, I am reminded at how great it is to be a part of this huge family and through all our trials, I know we will be there for each of us at our time of need.
