I generally don't post pictures of others on the blog without their permission, but once Carrie posted this, I knew I could do the same. This is Brenna's friend Grady. He was diagnosed with Leukemia back in February and Brenna has been worried about him, especially when he has to go into the hospital for chemo treatments. When he is doing well, they playing together, he comes over to swim, and they run around laughing, making faces, and finishing each others sentences just like they have since kindergarten. When he is not doing good, she prays for him and often wonders what else she should do for him.
This picture was taken on the afternoon of her baptism. Grady was 'in-patient' for 4 days doing a treatment, so he wasn't able to come to her baptism. That afternoon, when all the presents had been opened, and all of the friends had left, she asked if we could go visit Grady at the hospital. She was very aware of the covenants she had made that day, and wanted to go see Grady.
Those of you who know her personally, know how much she truly cares for others. She is a wise soul and great example of Christ like love for others. We are so glad she could spend some of her baptism day with Grady and his awesome family!
