Big Surprises From Becca!

Becca gave us a huge surprise today by showing up unannounced at home about 10 this morning!  First and foremost was it great to see the big smile on her face because she knew she had (a) pulled off a big surprise and (b) it was very good!

Then she immediately started in right away helping with all manner of cleaning throughout the house, most welcome after the acoustic ceiling (aka popcorn) removal and painting activity.  Willyne's mother, Floryne, came a couple hours later and went right to work as well.

Such a sweet, sweet surprise in so many ways!

The lady next to Willyne in this picture is Carolyn Kleinman, Stephen Sanders' sister.  During his illness, she was down from her home in northern Utah more often than not, helping with his care.  She has become a good friend to Willyne and I during this process.

I came home from my meetings tonight to find Willyne and Carolyn having a pleasant, but somewhat sad conversation ... Carolyn has finished what she needs to do here and won't be back for some time.  So it was somewhat of a goodbye, but we go up north for various reasons too, so it's not totally goodbye.  Thank goodness.  You can never have too many good friends.  Just look at their smiles!
