I got to spend some time today with Jen and Sarah at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Clinic where Sarah gets her treatment. Sarah is doing so well. She was such a trooper despite doctors and nurses constantly poking and prodding her. I love this picture: like mother, like daughter. Exact same expression. :) Sarah has to have her blood pressure taken regularly during treatment and needless to say it's very uncomfortable for her. The nurses couldn't get an accurate reading if she was fussy and moving around a lot, which she did. Once Jen got her attention and started singing to her, Sarah was completely still and peaceful. Jen, I love you my friend and we continue to pray for complete healing for your sweet little girl. Thank you for being my friend, for my birthday gift, for your example of trust in a sovereign and loving God, and for loving your baby girl. I want to be like you.
Rayford Glynn Mays, Jr. was my father-in-law. He was born in 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama. My love and admiration for him runs very deep. He was a man of strong principles who made a significant difference for good in the lives of many underprivileged people throughout his life. His compassion for “the least of these” was genuine as indicated by his generous nature. I loved him very, very much. I married his son, after all! Following the death of his dear wife of 57 years, Matilda, we had the privilege of having him live with us. Sadly, after moving to a larger house to better accommodate him, he passed away after nine short months. We decided to name our home in his memory.
