They showed up in glory with their big yellow fire truck and ambulance…and several geared fire fighters. Santa actually rode the ladder as they extended it to the house, and the boys were awestruck. In addition to an amazing showing, they also arrived bringing gifts. Jace is now the proud owner of an authentic firefighter's helmet, and Hayden received a firefighter's Monopoly game. The smile this brought both boys was priceless. Matt and I again felt unworthy of such attention and grateful for a group of good people taking care of our sons. After a week of looking at the same three faces, Jace was saved from the monotony of being sick. For a few minutes Jace was on top of the world, enjoying the show. Thanks again Rexburg-Madison County Emergency Services.
In addition to our company last night, we also received a magnificent package tonight. The cutest group of teenagers and their parents brought our boys gifts to remember including personal letters and gift cards; movies and books. Really--we have no idea how we will ever repay all of you who are supporting our family. Please accept our heartfelt thank you, and please know you are making a difference. No matter what you are doing...anonymous letters...pizza on the front step...dinner...ice cream...etc...With your love, we continue to feel "saved" over and over again.
Got to love Emergency Services!!! (I can say that because that is where I met my husband...good old Madison County EMS.) Jace, I pray for you and your family everday!! Three years ago today I found out I had cancer. I can't wait until you can say you are a three year survivor too. Believe me, it is a great feeling!! You will be there before you know it. Just keep your chin up and keep fighting!!!
ReplyDeleteHow NEAT Jace. I'm so glad that you were able to go outside and see your special guests especially Santa. I love your new hat!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You must be a pretty special dude to have that kinda show come to your house. Oh, that's right, you are! Dayton & Gabby were super impressed that Santa came to your house. They both think it looks like the REAL one and not just one of his helpers. AWESOME! We love you and can't wait to come see your Christmas decorations and we hope you'll get to come visit ours too.
ReplyDeleteI love all these pictures! We are so excited about the news for healthy visitors! Hank's been feeling a little funny so we'll see what the next few days bring, but we hope to see you soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoy I'm glad that it was a "happy" rescue!! I was sure worried when I heard the commotion but I asked Hayden Sunday and he told me they were just visiting :) THAT IS WAY COOL BY THE WAY a personal visit from Santa.
ReplyDeleteJace--I want to thank you for taking the time to record your message for our Sharing Time in Primary on Sunday...IT WAS PERFECT and the whole Jr Primary was gathered around to listen to what you had to say. I'm glad to have you in my class now...I know you are there each week in spirit. Hope this next week is a better one for you :) I love ya little man
