Good News
I just wanted to share my great experience with Ty today. I got to visit with her alone and I held her hand and sang Primary songs (it helps being the Primary Chorister). I had been waiting for her to open her eyes. While I was singing she started to open her eyes with great effort. She struggled a while then got them all the way open. I wasn't in her line of sight (as her gaze was tipped up). So, I moved over, and she eventually lowered her eyes to mine. I could not tell if she was really focused on me or not, but I am just so grateful for this little miracle! She was also squeezing my hand! I am SO grateful for everyone's love, faith and prayers! She is so blessed because of you!

Hi Tyree! I just want to tell you that I am holding you to your promise to bring Jocelyn to Georgia for a visit! We can't wait to meet her. Keep up the good fight or I'll come out there and sing to you myself- nobody wants that! You and Chris, Tyler, Jocelyn and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We check in every day to read about your progress so please do something really amazing today so I can read about it! Love, Laura, Dean, Dylan and Lindsey Miessner
I have met you once Travis and I did not know of the events that have taken place in your life but thanks to Kevin's email I now know which means that you have another person praying for your sister's full recovery. My mom always says that God may not come when you want Him but He is always on time!!! I pray that He watches over your sister and that He protects her and brings her back to full strength so she can be a great mother and sister!! God Bless!!
This was sent to me from my father and it helps a lot:
Stress Management----
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience raised a glass of water and asked:
"How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden "
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."
So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while. Life is short - Enjoy it !
Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others
* Never buy a car you can't push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once
* We could learn a lot from crayons...Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box
*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today...
THAT would be ME!
Thank you to all who have laughed, prayed and thought about us over the years. We love you.

Dear Sarah,
Thanks for sending the blog link with news about Tyree. I was happy to be able to join you in the fast on Friday and Saturday. I am so thankful that you have seen inmprovement. Please let me know if I can help with the kids
or anything else.
Love,
Lara
Tyree,
Keep up the good work. You have been fighting so strong to recover and I know that you will continue to fight.
I miss our 2 am talks that we so often had to catch up with each others lives. I think we always laughed more than we talked. So get well soon so I can hear my phone ring again in the middle of the night and know exactly who is calling before ever picking up the phone.
I love you and miss you!
Your eternal friend,
Vida
