Support

Last Saturday was one of the craziest days of my life. Not only was it the Preference dance, but my 14 year old cousin was snowboarding and he broke his femur. He tried to fight against a tree... and of course the tree won. He was immediately rushed to the ER and he is fine now! The sad thing is that he just recovered from an ACL tear on his other leg, and then he goes and breaks his femur. My family and I went to see him on Monday night and he is doing really well! He has to sit in bed all day long, and he cannot fully use it for another 6 months. Breaks my heart. Although Max, Eric, and I were able to make him laugh and smile! His mom said that she hasn't seen a smile on him for the last couple of days. The support that a family member can give another is one incredible thing. Just being there and talking to him for over an hour, we were able to make him smile and laugh a little bit, hoping to brighten his mood! My family is amazing and we are so close together. I know that if anything were ever to happen to me, they would be the first to be at my side encouraging me to keep going. I feel so bad for my cousin, but he will slowly get better and better. It just takes time! :) Through prayer and faith, we can accomplish the hardest of tasks. It may not happen as fast as we wish, but we can do anything we set our minds to. "If you say you can't, or say you can... you're right." This quote is in my seminary class and I read it everyday. It is one of my favorites. Don't give up and keep going! :)
