Today is our family service day. It is the anniversary of the passing of garren's dad. We have dedicated jan 2 of every year to be a day of service to others to honor Glenn Laymon's memory. (Unfortunately it's also a work day so Garren couldn't join us). Garren's dad died while he was serving in the office of a bishop in the LDS church. Bishops in the church devote a lot of time to the sick and widowed to make sure they know they are loved and cared for.
We spent the morning making cookies. Then we filled several plates with cookies and wrote notes to each person. We delivered them to a home bound woman, a lady that has recently come home from the hospital after having a stroke, and two other home bound women one with dimentia and one with Alzheimer's.
After the last visit I buckled up Miriam in her car seat and she gave an outburst laugh suddenly. I looked at her and she said, "I'm happy!!!!" We plan to do something every year that we know he would be doing if he were here still. Live on Glenn Laymon!!
