Today and Yesterday and Tomorrow



It's fun to watch Clare climb in and out of small spaces.








Sometimes she gets stuck and ends up in uncomfortable positions.








But she learns how to get out and eventually where not to go.









And sometime she gets to see things the rest of us can't
.






Of Life and the Park -Chrysi Davis-
That was a wonderful day of playing in the heat and sunshine and watching Clare enjoy the thrill of a playground. So much has happened since that day at the park.

But today we had another outing in the park and it's nice to know that even though our worlds get turned upside down over and over again we can still turn ourselves right side up, get through the hard stuff and go back to the park.
And things will happen again. Life will catch us unaware and teach us hard lessons. Then we'll go back to the park. We'll swing through the air and plunge down the slide and imagine we're flying.

Since that time in the park my last blog was about a lot has transpired. Rick returned from China and we spent a couple days together loving being in the same place again. It changed from July to August so quickly. We enrolled Clare in a clinical study of a CF treatment. And I've spent some time in the hospital with pulmonary embolisms. The three of us have each had our medical moments this year so now we're all caught up for a while. Worse things can and do happen.
I want to thank everyone who has been concerned for us, who has been praying for us, who has taken the time to check in on us to see how things are. If you've kept us in your thoughts for even a moment thank you. We felt your support, you love, your thoughts, your prayers and we thank God for giving us friends and family like you. God works through people and it is through you that we have felt his love and compassion for us. And we are so very grateful.
Thank you.
