Indomitable Spirit

My daughter-in-law Jill came to visit this week with her two little babes. She was in Utah for an appointment with an orthopedic specialist. And here's the breaking news = she's getting a brand new ceramic hip on July 13th. She needs one. Badly.


Jill was born with hip dysplasia and went through several corrective surgeries during her early childhood. By the time she headed off to kindergarten, she was running, jumping and playing hard with other kids. No problem.

Life went on and she went to college, got married, and had babies.


Carrying those babies, teaching Zumba aerobics, running to keep up with my rather go-go son, being her own creative and energetic self
. . . all those things wore down those 'B Grade' hips. Especially the right one. Well, let's face it - those babies were probably the kicker!

Taken on Monday at my place.

But it was gonna happen someday. And she's ready to face the music. In fact, she's ready to SOAR.

I unequivocally ADORE my daughter-in-law.
She is the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT companion for my son.

Taken five years ago, when they graduated from BYU together.

And she simply couldn't be a better mother for my grandkids.

With her INDOMITABLE SPIRIT, she's sail through her challenges ahead.

Meanwhile,

I've put in my bid
for Grandma Time
with Mr. Kenneth
during the recovery phase.

HURRAY!
