I am so sure that Our Heavenly Father has a hand in Kevin's recovery even more so, because of an experience we had today. Tim and I were invited to a barbecue to celebrate the 100th birthday of a good friend and former co-worker's home as well as her husband's birthday. Carol Wasserman and her husband, Tony Witt are great people! Because they are sponsoring a concert of some Country Western artists at Loveland's Rialto Theatre tomorrow, they had some of the artists play at the party.
I heard Carol say that one of the artists, Brenn Hill, was from Utah, so I struck up a conversation with some things we might have in common. Soon we were talking about his little boy, Briggs, and the brain and spinal cord cancer he has battled since age 2 1/2 (He is now 4 and still fighting and getting better). I was able to see pictures of his beautiful family and Briggs's radiant and ear to ear smile just touched my heart! I told him about Kevin and he told me that many miracles have taken place in Briggs's battle with cancer despite some very negative opinions of medical experts and he said to make sure that we used the power of the priesthood whenever necessary with our son, too.
Later, Tim and I were sitting on the farmhouse porch eating and Brenn pulled up a chair and started eating and visiting, too. He kind of blurted out in a humble quiet voice, "I'm going to do a benefit concert for you!" Tim and I just sat there silently and in a bit of shock. What do you say when someone offers you such an amazing gift?
By the time we left the party, we had several people already beginning to formulate the details.
Stay tuned. This benefit will include several country artists, food, and more! We will give you all of the information we can when we have it. Thank-you, Brenn, Carol, Tony, and Mark! You are all angels sent from God to our family.
