Sisters Lunch

 Susie is a hub where family likes to meet. She has always been someone who will invite others for dinner, take care of children, think of new ideas, and gather her family and friends.

On Sunday, Susie sent a picture of the Sister's Freezer Meal day for Laura, They were also celebrating Donna's birthday. So my interpretation is that they got together to make some freezer meals for Laura when she is feeling too ill to make something, and letting Donna know she is loved and appreciated.

Reflection, memories, and stories

  I asked my family for stories that we could put together to help Laura through the rough times. All of these pictures have stories and wonders attached.......but I don't know them. It has been fun guessing when and where and who. Notice the full head of hair - not grey and all the faces without wrinkles - mom's house or someone else's? Ogden lights with small grandchildren...which grandchildren? years ago at a church for a reunion? Definitely Donna's wedding at the Great Salt Lake - Amy, Jessica, Krystal, and Krista I want to say Kayleen and Reynold long ago......but what if these are Kayleen's kids? I haven't been around  much after Kayleen got married. In fact I don't think I have seen her second...... Wow, look at that very young man. Is John coming or going on a mission? Where are they? Davey in the corner?

Story in Her Own Voice

  Laura is going to dictate her story on Marco Polo, which I will transcribe,  so we can have her own voice tell her story.    Laura: I guess, maybe I'll just start by telling just a little bit why I'm here. On December 26th my hip was really hurting, and I had to kind of crawl around and I went that way for a few weeks then on January 18th I decided to go to the emergency room because I just couldn't work, I couldn't do anything, so I went to the emergency room. They did a CT scan of my hip that included my lung area. The doctor came back to me and said, “hey the nodes in your lung are growing.  I was like, “I don't know what you're talking about”, “I wanted you to look at my hip”.     He said that I had some nodes that looked like they had grown since September, so then he sent me to an oncologist who did a CT scan. He found that there were four tumors in my lung, he also found out that there were four tumors - one here (pointing to her arm) to one here (point

News that came back

 My little sister Laura has had adventures of one kind or another all her life. Some have been exciting in the water, on mountains, and visiting different countries, but some have been extraordinarily difficult - like her newest adventure. It threatened in January when she got news from the doctor that she needed to come back for tests when she visited to figure out why she had so much pain from an injury in December. But the hammer fell on February 15 at 5:15 pm Pacific Time, Susan posted on the Family messages: "Dear Family, Laura got the news back today from her doctor. She has stage 4 melanoma. It appears to have spread through her lymph system - now appearing in her lungs and 9 tumors throughout her body.  she is going in for a MRI to scan her brain. The doctor says she has about 6 1/2 years with treatment. We are going to have a family fast on Sunday for Laura and her family. Please join us if you can." After an immediate outpouring of love on texts, eight siblings met
