I think I am due for a blog update :) I will give a preview of my last few weeks. I am back down in sunny St. George and just started my second semester at Dixie College. So far it looks like it will be a good semester with some tough classes. Let's hope I pass them all. I moved into a new apartment with the wonderful, Jhena Shumway and a few others. New roommates can be hard but with time I hope we will all loosen up and make some great memories. Okay.. Now I will get to the point of this post, I just started working for a delightful "young lady" named Leila. She is 89 years old and her sweetheart of 58 years just passed away on Christmas day. She is heartbroken. Every morning Albert would wake up right next to Leila and tell her how much he loved her while kissing her on the forehead. They would sit in their Lazy Boy's every day, while sharing a blanket and holding hands, then at night they would lie down in bed together and fall asleep holding hands. How sweet is that? Can you even imagine loosing the love of your life that you have been holding hands with for 58 long, beautiful years? It would be terrible. Anywho.. I have been going to Leila's house everyday to visit with her for hours but just this last Tuesday she was admitted into the hospital with a very severe case of pneumonia. I have been sitting here in the hospital with her as she just wheezes and coughs. I wish there was something I could do for her. She is the sweetest lady I have ever met and I admire her so much. She has been through so much these past couple of weeks but she still has a smile on her face and a sense of humor even if she has to sit in this "dang hospital."
