So, We Meet Again

As I mentioned before, I typically write each night on the most 
influential
event of the day.   Or I write about what was on my mind the most 
during that day.   Or the most emotional event or discussion from that 
day.  It was a very easy choice for tonight.  Today Jolie and I shared 
a long visit with Dr. Lawrence Mason and his wife Ginger.  We've been 
friends for a long time & we've spent a lot of time together in 
church.  But our friendship is very different now.   Lawrence was the 
first doctor to reach Jolie and begin CPR, which he continued until 
the EMT arrived.  Since that day, Lawrence & Ginger have been a 
constant part of Jolie's recovery.  They previously joined our family 
twice as we went to Jolie's CCU room.   But Jolie doesn't remember the 
visits due to the high amount of sedation that she was on at the 
time.  So today's visit was very powerful for everyone.  It was very 
important for all of them to share feelings & discuss the events of 
that morning.   But also equally important to just discuss the routine 
things in life..... Kids, School, Home, Etc. It's so wonderful to have 
such great friends.   True friends really shine in the darkest 
times.   I Love All Of You ! What an incredible God we have.  Jimmy
