24 Hours

The family gathering at our home during the extended Christmas/New Year’s break was wonderful. Grandson Hayes was the life of the party.

However, we missed our youngest daughter’s family from Tuscaloosa with two absolutely adorable grand daughters. Problem fixed.

This weekend, those three beautiful girls with wonderful father David visited us for a bit longer than 24 hours, arriving mid-day Saturday and leaving Sunday after lunch.

Ahead of time, I prayed for a fun packed, no-drama, and engaging gathering. What unfolded was a magnificently enjoyable confluence of good times and delicious eats for all combined with intimate conversations among the “adults”. What a blessing.

When the house vacated today and Mimi and I drew a breadth, we could only talk about the quality of the brief 24 hour visit. The grand daughters absolutely love grandson Hayes, and he was the source of many fun activities. Our lives are enriched as a consequence.

In the snail-paced march towards finding a cure or substantial mitigation to Duchenne and its wear and tear on youngsters, each 24 hours of thoughtful research and persistent support of research will count a lot IF maximum effort and optimum brain power are expended during that time.

Please, let’s make every 24 hours of effort towards ending Duchenne draw us closer to good results, soon.

Kindly yours,

Papa in Franklin
