Today was an average day as far as Dick is concerned. Because Billy has been out of town, I asked Glen to spend Thursday and Friday nights at our house in case there was a problem with Dick in the night. He has been very kind to do that. In addition, around 11:00 a.m., Glen and Kyle came over to mow our lawn. A special thanks to both of them for their service.
I attended a funeral of a man who has lived in this neighborhood for almost 50 years. He has been very ill, and last Friday, May 29th, he was in the hospital in the room next to Dick. So, Dick and I visited him a couple of times during the day on Friday. He had fallen and broken his back and had a tumor in his head. He was in pretty rough shape. His name is Keith Merryweather. Some of you might remember him. It's really a blessing that he passed on.
Grandpa Dalebout came over to stay with Dick while I attended the funeral. Afterwards, Val and Julene Kendell came over and brought Dick and I a Jamba Juice. Then, Meridith Blackburn came over to bring a loaf of fig bread that she had made. People are so nice. Dick and I walked around the block once, and Ron Dennis came over to walk him around the other block on another occasion.
He is still feeling a lot of pain in his lower back, and we can't quite figure out what is causing the pain. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Thanks so much.

Sure hope the back pain gets better. Back pain that goes on and on is pretty wearing. It's so good that you have friends coming in and out, that the weather in Provo is nice for walking, that there are people to count on to stay with you when that's needed. Isn't it amazing how many blessings there are even in the midst of hard times? Thank you so much for the updates. We look forward to hearing how the days are going.
Dad...you look really good in this picture!!! You need to switch out the blue polo shirt and jeans for something new:0)
Love you.
Dick, you look really great in this picture! We hope your back starts improving.
