Last week my Mother called me crying and very upsest. Considering our circumstanses, this scared the crap out of me. When she finally got composed she told me that the baseball team came by to drop off the money raised at a fund raiser they held at Wal-Mart. They presented my mother with about $7,500 dollars!! I couldn't believe it! And kids no less! They were at such a loss trying to figure out what to do. We wouldn't allow them to come and see my dad so they had to get out what they were feeling somehow, and what a way to do it! I love coming from a small town.

We've been bombarded by people who've wanted to express their respect, love or friendship in any way they can. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked "what can I do?" And really you can only ask help from specific people and the others you just ask for a prayer. But a prayer is so much!! You actually ask people to talk to God for you, that is an amazing request and amazing gift of love for someone to put you in their prayers.
