Ben writing(age 11) Today I started off fine but soon after mom was not feeling to good as she had an upset stomach. As this ended up us not going to church. I could feel that me and the other kids were smirking as we realized we wouldn’t have had to go to a two hour long session about news in our church. After we get ready well be going to a delish turkey dinner from my grandma. Anyway the doctors say dad is improving.

Sam writing(age 9) I am sad because my Dad is in the hospital in Edmonton. But I know that he will come home soon. Anyway, we did miss church. When dad comes back to Calgary he won’t come straight home because he has to go to the Foothills hospital. I hope he will come home in a week.

Olivia(age 5 - dictated to mom) I miss my dad very much and I wish he could come back really soon. He is special to me. I really like him. His heart wasn’t pumping and he’s really sick in the hospital at Edmonton. I wish that his old heart was working better. He’s doing good now. When he comes home I want to play with him. Good thing his heart is working good now. Yesterday we played in the snow and after that we came inside then we went out again. I brought my stuffed bird, Skyler, outside to play with then I left her outside overnight. In the morning Ben brought her in and she was covered in snow because it snowed. I love my dad!

Thomas (age 2 – dictated to mom) I love Daddy. He had a transplant. I love mom. Hcmot8ddxxoqqaaaaaakkklmu5zjasssss
