Sunshine in my soul today

It is interesting to me that today in the elevator, when I was leaving the hospital, a friendly stranger sparked up a conversation by saying, "Isn't it great that the sun came out today?" I emphatically agreed and in more ways than that stranger knew. The sun did indeed come out and smile down on Salt Lake today and the sunshine in my soul came out today and wrapped it's warm rays around my heart! My Dad is back and I couldn't be happier!

  1. Jeff, We love you! We are so glad you had a good day with your sweet family. We have enjoyed reading the tender sweet things your girls say about you and Jeri. I will always remember the big hugs (Roger likes hugs also) and genuine concern you always had for my family. Your Blanding blood has given you great Character! And that greatness will live on with your family,

    Take care,
    Rod & Annie Ostergaard

  2. I have to comment even though you may not know me well I am Tim and Gail's niece and Roger and Annie's daughter. I just wanted to say you are all in my heart and prayers. I don't know Jeff well but every time I saw him He always has a big hug and I felt genuine love from him. it takes a certain kind of person to be able to make a person feel their love and I am grateful to have felt Jeff's warm heart from time to time. Jeff you are a wonderful man and I am so lucky to have spent a few family functions with you. I look forward to many more fun family times in the future with you.

  3. Rachael,
    Thanks for the sunny observation. That's even helps those of us socked in in the valley to the west in more ways than one.
    The Hales tell me that they and the Stettlers are helping with the boys. Please let me know if there are other things your ward can do.
    This blog is a true blessing. Through it, we send our love to you, your grand father, and that strong mother of yours.
