Nate and Mom

Nate had a pretty rough day today. After Cathie and the kids got home, Cathie and Nate were talking some more about what's going on with my Mom. They got to talking about how Nate's Aunt Bethie works at St. Jude's Cancer Hospital in Memphis as a doctor. They were talking about some of the research that's done there, and Nate committed to Cathie that he wanted to start giving his allowance to the pancreatic cancer researchers so that no other kid's would have to be sad and lose their grandma's from this disease. Nate told Cathie that he if Grandma was healthy and lived in Memphis, she would be at that hospital every day, praying for every one of the kids, giving their parents hugs and slipping the kids candy when no one was looking. At the end, he told Cathie that he'd be willing to have his stomach pains for the rest of his life if it meant healing Grandma.

Maddie and Nate made these bracelets for my Mom. One says Faith, Hope and Love and the other says "We Love You".
