EVERYBODY LOVES AMBER!

I have an amazing wife.  She is soooo easy to love that we never lack help or offers to help.  An amazing example of this is our church congregation (ward).  Each month Sister Eddington calls me and asks me what we will need in the coming month (meals, help with the boys, rides to the doctor, etc).  She makes a calendar and passes it around to the ladies at church and they sign up to fill the needs.  Everyone that touches the calendar signs up for something and sometimes multiple things.  The calendar only makes it through about 1/3 of the room or less and all of the opportunities have been signed up for. 

So after church I get about half a dozen ladies that tell me they would love to bring a meal or help with something but the list didn’t make it to them.  They tell me to call them when I think of something.  I love Amber so much that I love to serve her but I have never had so much competition in the loving and serving department.  What a wonderful “problem” to have. 

This past month, while Amber has been off chemo, our angel mothers, and my sister Kellie, who is an angel in training, have been coming up every day while I am at work to help with our kids.  They are there to help Amber be able to do things if she feels up to it or allow her to sleep if she is too tired to do things.  They have played with kids, cooked, cleaned, done laundry, and in general just made Amber’s life more enjoyable.  It is interesting to see how much the kids love all three of them and look forward to the different styles and personalities they each offer.  Our family is so blessed to have them in our home often.  We love and appreciate all three of them dearly!
