People are Amazing

I am so amazed by the generosity of friends, family, and even complete strangers. In the last month or so that I've been out of commission we've received so much help.

• Since I work in primary, I don't know very many people in RS. People we don't even know have been bringing us dinner twice a week.
• Three of my favorite college roommates have come by to see me. Rachel was visiting from the east coast and came by with Suzette and made us breakfast on a Saturday morning. Suzette continues to come once a week on Thursdays just to talk, visit, and cross stitch together. Allison drove up from Provo with her little girl to spend an afternoon with me. Not only do these visits cheer me up and help the time go by, but it's been great to spend time with wonderful friends that I haven't seen for a long time. 
• Bev and Vonnie take turns coming to check on me once a day, give me a little company, and bring me treats and movies. Sometimes they even do our dishes or take our laundry home for us so Casey won't have to worry about it. 
• Bev, Vonnie, Torry, Angie, Liz and then several friends from the ward have all taken turns watching over Emmett during the day while Casey is at work. It's a long shift-- 8:00am until 5:30 or 6:00pm. Emmett has so much fun playing with them and receives much better care than I can currently give to him. We have been so grateful for their help!
• Curtis and Carolyn have sent me TV series to keep me entertained during the day, Debbie and Dad skype with me, and Mom calls me during her breaks at work or when she catches a moment on the way home. All little things that help me feel loved and encouraged. 
• Casey's mom took time off work to spend 5 days helping us, and my mom is giving up her spring break to come down to UT and help. 

Honestly, we are so overwhelmed by the kindness of others. When this is over I don't know how we are ever going to adequately thank everyone. I just can't wait until it's my turn to be on the giving end and hope I can do it as unconditionally and freely as everyone around us has done. THANK YOU.
