The week before my dad died, Blake (my brother aka the good Blake as per Kinlee) he gave my dad a blessing and in the blessing it said "you will be okay". Well, while we were in Bountiful my mom had some skin cancer removed and Blake gave her a blessing. Nakia called me after the blessing and said that Blake said something in the blessing like this "Janice you are very concerned about someone right now and I want you to know that she will be okay in a satisfactory manner" which we interpreted that she would live, but still didn't know exactly how she would recover.
Lets be clear. Ray and I stayed every night. Blake would always leave and go back to an airbnb or hotel. We understand this was so hard for him, please don't think that we didn't know that. I can't imagine at my age going through this with my spouse. But, here we are with our daughter and we will do EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER to get the best care for her and if that means sleeping at the facility with her every since night, we will do it. I tried to explain to people also that Blake hasn't really ha to make any decisions for himself, his mom and dad made them until Kinlee came along and what decisions his mom didn't still make for him Kinlee did. His dad even decided where he would work and got him a job. And not too shabby job either, he makes more than Ray and I put together and then double that. Another great thing about this place is the cafeteria, the food wasn't the greatest, but it was within walking distance so even when I was alone the nurses could watch her. And the best part was that there was FREE DIET DR. PEPPER. It was amazing and I was so thankful. I know crazy thing to be thankful for, but I was trying to find the positive in everything.
