courage
courage is the word that comes to mind when i think of jim's fight against cancer. he faced the battle with such faith and optimism! i always marveled at his courage to face each new day. i will miss his cheerful enthusiasm for life.
i've been remembering so many things these past few days. like the cute pink outfit jim picked out for hannah when she turned one. he explained he knew just what a little girl would like, after all, he had two of his own.
when we were all in san diego for nate and liz's wedding, jim took some of us sisters out to lunch at the califonia pizza kitchen, but not before we dragged him to a store looking for a slip, earrings and other last minute items. he was such a good sport. i know we all had a fun visit that day.
just last may, jim & patti arrived on my doorstep with gift in hand for baby easton. it just so happened i was preparing to go to primary children's to have easton tested for his projectile vomiting. i was a bit of a wreck. jim explained all about boston's surgery for pyloric stenosis. when it turned out that's what e had, it was so comforting for me to know boston had been through the same thing and it turned out fine. i was glad they stopped by precisely when they did.
i will also remember the priesthood blessings jim gave me since dad wasn't here to do it.
i hope some of you will share memories too. i think it's healing and hopefully patti and the kids would enjoy reading your thoughts here as well.
