Perspective

Hello friends and family, Donny again here. Been quite the struggle the past 5 months in our family with Jaws breaking, miscarriages, and off and on sickness. It can be easy to let yourself get overwhelmed by these things thinking that life is so hard. And then perspective comes. Some friends of ours in southern Oregon have some family that are REALLY going through hard times. Their 3 and 1/2 year old son is at home right now with grandma and grandpa, so dad and mom (who is 36 weeks pregnant) can take there other son to UCLA hospital so that he can have a liver, bowel, and partial large intestine transplant. So next time you get bummed because your kid wakes up with puke in their bed, thank the Lord for a healthy kid. Next time your child gets a soar throat be thankful that you don't have to seperate your kids for scare of an infection that would keep them in the hospital. Perspective huh? For those of you who want to read more about this family here is their blog: http://www.angelswings708.blogspot.com

Couple pictures of me and my "healthy" son shaving just for fun.
