Last minute makings of a "Suite". Tanners Homecoming - Friday 28th

Last minute adjustment, to bring Tanner home to his suite. Thanks to all that made it possible to bring him home with as little obstacles as possible. There was no limits on the main floor for Tanner. As you can see in the slideshow there was much to be done to make this possible. I figure we have won half the battle
with the situation so far. Only half way to go!
I wanted to share a story with everyone awhile ago. I actually bought some of
these books to give as gifts with a letter. Christmas has come and gone. Before Christmas I stopped by Deseret Book to get a book on tape for Tanner, at the check out there was a small book by Thomas S. Monson called "In Search of the Christmas Spirit." Since the books didn't make it out nor my letter, I will just share a small part that meant alot. He talks about Dickens' A Christmas Carol , which is a story we all hear at Christmas time. He said, "We can learn a treasured lesson from the pen of Dickens and from the example of Christ. As we lift our eyes heavenward and then remember to look outward into the lives of others, as we remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive, we, during this
Christmas season, will come to see a bright, particular star that will guide us to or precious opportunity." As I read this book to Tanner,This again reminded me of each and everyone of you that have reached out to us in every way to help us at this time in our lives. Thank you for looking forward. The examples that people have shown with their kindness and caring ways have reminded us of the true spirit of people. I would much rather be on the giving end, but the receiving end has blessed our family in ways that will be forever in our hearts.
