The King has returned to his castle!

The Grifffin Castle was hastily prepared for Jeff's arrival home. We were so Happy that Jeff had made such remarkable progress but we were not surprised! He has been protected by the Lord through this whole Journey since he was diagnosed last July. His attitude has been great and his Faith unshakeable. He has been such an example to us all and the staff that took care of him in the hospital always expressed their gratitude to him for always greeting them with a smile and being "The Best Patient Ever"!through this whole Journey I have gained such a testimony of the power of prayer and faith. I also have gained such insight into the plan of salvation and my own mortality and the responsibility I have in it.



Now this is new to me blogging but I need to reply to my sweethearts blog he left for me while in the hospital. As a fourteen year old girl my dreams were quite lofty,but as a 15 1/2 year old girl I met this 16 1/2 year old boy and the Lord blessed me with "Eternal Eyes" so I saw my Eternal Love and began the pursuit and fight to keep him. He has far surpassed my lofty dreams of what I wanted in a husband, friend and a Eternal Companion. He has been "My Touchstone" through our journey's together. Life has delt us some hard and difficult journey's but we always weather the storms together and I would'nt want to without him by my side.Since our marriage I have not worried about keeping him but keeping up with him! Anyone who has met Jeff or spent anytime with him is left a better person because of knowing him. I will never be able to match his greatness but I am so grateful that he wants me by his side Forever. He is my "Everything"!


Today is Sunday the 10th and our Bishop and his counselor and the counselor's son brought the sacrament to Jeff and I. We miss our ward Family but are so thankful for the priesthood and the many blessings it has brought into our lives. Jeff is doing amazing except for the nerve pain in his feet, we pray this will end soon. We take him to the Dr. tomorrow to see how his bone marrow is doing. Thankyou all for your love and prayers on his behalf and our family.
