Friends and Family:
Had hoped we would be able to start our new year out on a different note than we had ended last year. But guess its not time yet. Everyone was saddened when Kayla lost her Grandmother Ronnie Couch 2 weeks ago. I so wish we would have got ton to know her as she was so well spoken of and Kayla loved her dearly. She had not been well for a long time. This week my cousin Dena lost her 32 year old son Melvin Clyde in an auto. accident. This is such a heart breaker as he was so young and had so much to live for and being the Daddy of a little 5 year old boy!!!!! Actually the story goes he was 5 years old when his father died and his Mother was 5 years old when her father died!!! Another example of it is not ours to know the reasons WHY...
I was excited to share with everyone that there are 3 families we are lending a hand to at Brent's place. Of course they can't share alot of details with us but what we do know is this. The one little boy is 4 and is there for a transplant , his Mom is a single parent of 4 small children and another of them is a very bad diabetic, this family is of course on the most urgent list. A little 14 mo.old girl also in need of a transplant. A little 3 year old gal that ironically Coy went to College with her parents at Black Hills is also in need of the transplant. There are so many with so many needs not to even mention the need of just a little moral support. All these stories are different and yet the same at the end of the day.
Coy will be delivering to the families and will maybe get to meet some of them.. We had an encounter with a woman there with her 8 yr. boy from Montana. He was such alittle sweetheart and really ended up taking better care of himself than his mom ever did. Moral of the story as sick as he was she spent her nights across the street drinking beer and smoking. One Night she left about 10:00 showed back up after 2:00. This so didn't set well with me and I reported Her , this is NOT the kind of people I want Brenda's funds going to for those little ones I hope Coy will be able to see certain needs and by pass anyone who won't put the little ones first...
I know these are the things that would put Brenda in over drive and and by now all details would be taken care of . She would have been such a bright spot in their day but heck with all this maybe she still will be,just in a different form...Hope this finds everyone doing well. Love to all Chick and Crew

Friends and Family:
I so miss checking the blog first thing everyday , looking forward to hearing from those who were so faithful to send a little bit if home to Colo. This BLOG was truly a God send besides looking forward to the messages from home it was something for her to do and give her the mind set of the news to send home everyday. It was very important to her as when she couldn't do it, she was making sure I was giving it the ole college try to get it done.
I have heard from Debbie and Kathy (2 of the Pink Tiger)They both got to go home for Xmas. Kathy ended up having to have a back surgery and is now trying to rebuild her strength. She is responding well to her donor and no bad cells showed up since her last treatment. Debbie is 100% her donor and cancer free although she had been back in the hospital with a bad infection..I told her, her kids had just won the lottery as they get to have a mommy again and hopefully will get to watch them grow old. It has been a long haul for them as she has been so sick since last June....For them I am so thankful and grateful and excited for them to get to go on and have somewhat normal life. Believe me they all deserve it for I really don't think anyone really knows what they all have been through. I wish I could understand WHY Sissy couldn't have been one as well to overcome it all, she took it all like the little soldier she was and try ed so hard to stay positive and strong. I wish I would have accepted this could happen and ask her things knowing she didn't offer it as she needed to protect me. I wish I would have just crawled in bed with her and just held her one last time. Missing her is totally off the charts this is the longest I've ever not seen her since the day she was born. SORRY...this not were I meant to go.
I do have some very unexpected but happy news Kirk and Leigh much to their SURPRISE are going to get us a new baby in Aug. It will be great and they can do it, as they are wonderful parents!!!! We are kind of in favor of blue but another little girl will be just what we ordered if we can be blessed with a healthy Mommy and Baby!!!!
Was kind of hoping Brian and Kayla would follow suit but no such luck so far.
Coy's wife Hannah and little Lu key Bear came and spent a week with me last week, loved having them kinda brightened up life and home . This ole house just doesn't seem to function right with only me rattling around.
With alot of wonderful help we got Sissy moved out of her apartment and her Uncle Howard allowed us to move her things into his house at the ranch, where we will just make a home there with her things and I can be there with mom on my off months. Jeff came home to help along with Brian and Kayla, Marlys, Pat,Donna, Eva and Elvin and Mike. What would we do without friends and family?????
Hopefully everyone out there will forgive me for taking so long getting thank-you out. My daughter-in-laws have tryed very hard when they are here BUT every time I try I am unsuccessful as it just kicks me in the gut,I will get it together and I pray everyone knows how much they are loved and appreciated.
Miss hearing from everyone, Hope this finds you all doing well. Keep us posted.
