23 Friday's Letters

Dear Bella, Yesterday you had to get a distemper shot and since then all you have done is slept and not wanted to play.  You are making me nervous, why don't you want to play like usual? Dear DISNEY, If everything goes right, I will be splashing down splash mountain this time tomorrow. Dear Husband, You don't get sweet letters this week because you have kind of been a turd (keepin' it real here ladies.) Dear Husband, even though you have been a turd, I kind of loved when I woke up in the middle of the night and you were curled up against me. That never happens. Dear Bella, I love giving you tastes of my lunch, just look at how much you are enjoying that goldfish in the picture above.  I know I sure don't eat goldfish with my eyes closed....you are so cute. Dear Birthday, You are in 3 days but I will be celebrating you alllll weekend long. Dear Friends, You don't ever make a dang single one of the recipes I put on here do you?  Well guess what, someone finally did. And they blogged about it. And they LOVED it!

And Dear Blog Friends--, last week I requested prayers for a young man lost on mount fuji.  Here is the latest update from his family:  This is Matt’s Mom & Dad: From our whole family, thank you for your prayers and support during this difficult time. The two mountain climbers yesterday made it to the top of Mt. Fuji, but unfortunately, did not find any signs of Matt. We really felt like finding Matt in/around the shelters high on the mountain was our last hope of finding him alive. These were the only shelters that were not already searched by foot. Due to the 13 days of sub zero temperatures, severe winds and extreme quantities of snow and ice, we feel that there is no longer any hope of a miracle. We know that Matt is in heaven with Jesus and we will now be focused on recovering his body. Our objective from the beginning was to maintain the hope that Matt would be returned to us in full health. Your prayers and the overwhelming support of family, churches, Facebook, co-workers and the community truly demonstrated the love of God and allowed us to keep that hope until all viable options were exhausted.

We received a pleasant surprise yesterday, January 25th, 2012, when a post card from Matt arrived. It had been sent to a friend and stated that he was having a good time in Japan and was sending the card from the 5th station on his way to the top of Mt. Fuji. He said, “It is cold and windy, but the sun is shining! :) A beautiful day for a climb! Have a great day! –Matt”

Matt was doing something that he loved and we are comforted knowing that we will see him again in heaven someday" 

So heartbreaking. :(
