Thanksgiving and Christmas were alway much  laughter and a lot of people when I was growing up.

Some of the Things I remember most, is what  I don't remember.

I don't remember the specifics of what my dad and mom discussed that was negative.

I just try to remember the good times .

I don't know why and am not going to ponder on it but my wife had no contact with her a family member for
almost the last 20 years of our 21 years of being married.

No contact. No calls, no Merry Christmas, No Happy Thanksgiving calls.  Let alone the get together.

But Our oldest daughter changed all that. She wrote them  letters for several months.


Those few letters Ashley wrote awoke a spirit within them and they have been coming to see us for almost

6 months, maybe more .  

Our friendships are developing deep quickly. They are so important to us now. Jamie's family member is  a
very sharp person , they make us laugh with all the details of stuff they remember from long ago.
We are not judging them, nor no how time got away from both of us for us to think our relationships weren't
important. But we are thankful that Ashley started writing them. The power of " The Pen " .

I'm also so thankful that I have lost my voice , I have prayed for wisdom for almost every day for several years.

Now that I am so limited to speak , the wisdom comes flowing in.

When you speak less than a couple hundred words a day , your hearing increases like 10 times. I might speak
more than that but when I do I regret it a couple days later. We had Hannah's birthday , she's 5 now and her
buddy came over with her mom.  I will post video sometime.  Of course with 6 kids and we are always a small
crowd just with our family.  I tried not talking for about a half hour into the get together then I shared with
Kathy , about how my voice keeps messing up after talking for a half hour or an hour.
Well I got into the conversation, and it is was fun. Talking is fun. Especially when you keep losing the gift of it
every other day or so. That night my face swelled up , it felt like someone was choking me and I really
wondered if my throat was just going to close up. This is the worst stage that my throat gets into. Sometimes
golf ball size bumps are on my face. Sometimes it looks like I have had a stroke cause one side of my face
swells and I talk out of one side of my mouth. Ive been to the doctors, and specialist, and they showed me cut
on the inside of my throat where it had been bleeding.  I still need to see a stomach specialist, the doctor has
concluded the acids in my stomach are eating away at my throat.

I have limited my speech for the last 3 days extremely and can feel it is getting better.
So if you have read this far we ask you to forward your friends and families our links about using our services
for a story and a Film.  We are going to be in a pickle if we don't get some money flow.
We charge $60 bucks or whatever you think it may be worth. If you live close enough by us we can video tape
a memory you would of never had if you didn't use our services. But this is how it will go.
If We would come to your house and video tape your kids, parents , grandparents or whatever , I would bring a
laptop and type our communications , we have a voice program that I use here in the house. Our laptop stays
on the counter and when I talk, I type and words are spoken by the computer.  Or I will sign. Just finger sign but
we all are getting better at it now.
Oh also we have the computer site we make 15 percent from . If you would want to order a few thousand dollar
computer and don't want to pay us that much commission, ask us to email you the order with a lower price, we
can discount it up to 15 percent off but then we would make nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving
