I got a call from a sweet lady named Mary Towne who lives in Gilbert. She wanted me to come and see her. You see, she had just returned from Boise, Idaho and had a few things for me from Sister Clawson.
I was so happy! My mom was with me and said she did not mind waiting as long as she had a drink. So I gave her what she wanted and headed out.
It was such a nice visit. This lady had brain surgery a year ago and cannot drive anymore. And she had nothing but nice things to say about Ashley. She said she is an absolute sweetie and she could feel the Spirit when she was around her. She is kind, giving, and very friendly. And she said I have every reason to be proud of my wonderful daughter. I, of course, cried. I know this is a wonderful time for her but sometimes her absence is so palpable it hurts. And to be able to talk to a person who was in contact with her less than a week ago was amazing!
The package included things she did not need anymore and pictures. Most of them are on her blog but I kept a few out for mine, too.
14 months left! :)
Mary says she is headed back in August and said if I have anything I need to send up to let her know and she can take it. I wonder if I could fit into a box and send myself. But that would mean someone else would have to be over band stuff. And that someone would ring my neck!!!
