"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh and anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." Ether 12:4

Keep It On The Down Low

So sorry everyone about the belated posting! We have been a busy little family trying to accomplish many tasks in the last few days. Some of you know what I'm talking about, some of you don't, and that's okay.

Dad has been feeling better since our Sunday Doomsday. He's still been sick, however, and has struggled to eat and have the energy to move around a lot. We've been experimenting with different anti-nausea medications and doses, and haven't found the best combination yet - I guess it's just something that we'll have to work at. Because dad's still trying to get his strength back and for other reasons, we're not receiving visitors until Saturday.

As a side note, this evening the Loser boys made a blanket fort downstairs. It was hard trying to make it work, so dad generously gave permission to put eyehole screws in the walls. We Loser children have waited 25 years to be able to make a real blanket fort that’s screwed into the wall. It’s amazing what dad’s willing to concede these days. :)

The Loser family was able to watch home videos in our blanket fort and reminisce about the “good old” days. They were, in fact, mostly “bad hair” days.

Just a brief shout out to all those who have helped us with various house projects these last few days. We love and appreciate you more than you could know. Your willingness to serve is a gift to our family.

Thank you all,
The Losers

My very first thoughts when I awoke this morning were of you and the entire Loser family. Manase and I look forward to visiting you sometime after Saturday. When I talked to Jackie last night she said that all she wanted to do right now was to "come home and give brother Loser a big hug!" Hopefully she will be home at Thanksgiving to do so. We look forward to seeing you soon.

I hope you took pictures of the the blanket fort. I would love to see the holes in the wall :) I can only imagine what it looked like. Also, who's bad hair days are you talking about?? :)

Darren and I are would love to call and talk sometime after Saturday if we can :) (even though we would rather visit in person).

We hope you enjoy your week together!

We love you all!!

Dear Richard:
We knew you were in the hospital during the UAA conference and hoped to see you at our Hospice Convention. We were very sad to learn that you would not be returning to RescueAlert due to your long battle. Many of the attendees send their love and gratitude for all of the service you have extended to the many patients in Home Health and Hospice over the years. We especially appreciate your kindness and support and wish you peace and happiness with your family. Our warmest affections from the UAHC & UHPCO Boards. We would like an opportunity to visit and will inquire as to the best time to do so. Our love, Dan and Linda Hull, UAHC and UHPCO
