Rocky Mountain Love

Friday, April 6, 2012

This morning was a snowy, windy, blustery spring day. Today, my friend, Debbie, dropped by to talk about wedding plans. She simply told me what she'd do to help organize and make the wedding happen in June. I cried tears of gratitude as she so cheerfully and enthusiastically explained how it wouldn't be work, but fun planning the wedding! I told her she was an answer to my prayers and then she teared up and told me that she'd asked Heavenly Father what she could do to help me in this situation and that being able to help me with the wedding was the answer to HER prayers.

After school, my friend Camiel dropped by and brought me the most amazing gifts from the school. The teachers & staff had gotten together and gone in on a gorgeously soft Minky blanket to help me keep warm during my chemo treatments. They also got me a Kindle Fire so that I can read books when I'm too tired to do anything else. Camiel also brought and ENORMOUS bag full of hundreds of Get Well cards from the students at the school. I am so humbled by this outpouring of love and support. I giggled and cried as I read the students messages of encouragement. "You can beat this thing, Mrs. Jacobs." "You are a fighter, Mrs. Jacobs! Don't give up!" I also never realized how many different ways you could spell the word 'substitute.' One of the funny ones was: supstatoot. Children make me smile. I miss the kids. I miss the teachers. I miss teaching. Rocky Mountain Elementary School is such a big part of who I am. I'm grateful for their love and  support.
