Two related stories:
We got here Saturday evening, and Jen took our
other 3 kids to church with her family on Sunday. Jen and Jeremy have 6
kids. Jen's ward [congregation] totally supported and loved our kiddos
that day.
My Aunt called Jen and said since she couldn't do
anything for us, she'd bring Sunday dinner to Jen. "But that's 11
people, Sybil"
"No," said Sybil, "The baby won't have any."
So
Sybil brought my cousin's wife and daughter, fed my family and Jen's
family, and then brought dinner to us in the hospital. The generosity
from the Sybil, Daryl, Chad Heather, Maura crowd gave us huge generosity
and support right there.
Then Jen's friend, Sue, told Jen not to
make dinner on Monday. She and her husband mad a big 'ole kettle of
crock pot goodness to feed the family that was feeding my family.
There
you go, two stories I wanted to tell. Combined. We are seeing kindness
and love from people we have never met. We are so grateful for a network
of friends that reaches out into goodness.
