Prayers Requested!

I know this is my second post today, but I have a request of you. We received a call from my mother-in-law that one of our very dear friends, Russel, was admitted to the ICU last night due to blood clots in his legs. Chris talked to Russel's dad a little while ago and a blood clot has now formed in his lungs (saddle blood clot). The situation is very serious. I ask that you lift Russel and his family up in your prayers. He has always been like an uncle to my girls...very plugged in to every aspect of their lives and we all love him a lot. He is one of the most gracious and kind-hearted people I have ever known. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I've stopped and prayed for this man and his family; I hope that all is as it should be...

I've loved catching up on your posts, 'specially the one about the Sisters', and just thought you should know that, especially with the way you are raising them, there is NO chance that they would not cherish family or each other!!! You should have no doubt about that at all... my Siss and I are like chalk and cheese; we never got on as younger girls, but 'knew' one loved the other, and vice versa. Today, we are still chalk and cheese, we've spent alot of time apart, but there's NO ONE like her in my life - there's a real common bond of love and natural attachment, and we both know it's to be treasured, as your girls will, if they don't already...

I hope you are doing ok through this trial with your dear friend... thinking of you! Naomi x
