March

March went by rather quickly for us. And yet slowly at the same time. Josh's dad ended up in the hospital at the beginning of the month for over 2 weeks. A very serious situation was given a very grim outlook at the beginning and that was just the start of a very long and emotional roller coaster ride for everyone involved. Lucky for us it wasn't his time to go yet and thanks to the prayers of so many and the countless Priesthood blessings he was able to pull through and go home. Our testimonies were definitely strengthened as were our family relationships as we all pulled together to lift up and be there for those we love.

We are extremely grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. For his sacrifice for us and the knowledge that if the outlook had not improved we would still be able to be together in the next life. We were witness to many miracles during this time of trial. And our faith was strengthened as well.

We love you Grandpa (Dad) Coleman!

And during the countless hours of sitting in either the Surgical ICU waiting room or the Operating Room waiting area Emalee took her first steps to give us yet another sign of hope that even in the darkest of situations there is always something to brighten the mood. :)

I'll try to add video later.
