Fall 2013 was an interesting one. To start off, my dad became really sick and had to be hospitalized mid September. He started off at a hospital in Grand Junction and eventually moved to receive better care at University Hospital in Denver. We visited my dad and mom weekly and watched helplessly as my dad stared death in the face several times. With the help of many prayers from friends and family, exceptional care from doctors and nurses, my dad was finally released to go home and recover today (December 31st.) I can't imagine what my dad has had to endure. My mother has been a faithful and unconditionally loving spouse to him and been by his side through every step. She truly has demonstrated to me what it means the love "through sickness and health." We are so grateful that my dad is going to recover. He has a long road of physical therapy, but his doctors believe my dad will make almost a full recovery. 2013 was tough on my dad. New Years Day he lost his mother. A month later his father. A month after that his only brother unexpectedly passed away. Then he started to feel sick after mom and and he returned from a trip to the Mediterranean, and has been sick ever since. We are all looking forward to putting the dark times of 2013 behind us and starting fresh with 2014.
Here are some pictures from the fall… (Taken with my iPhone, of course.)
