A New Challenge

Thursday, February 26, 2009

It is very early Thursday morning, so what do I do when I can't sleep? I write; I crochet; I read; and what ever else it might take to get me sleepy! Today's title is similar to the last posting's title. They are similar in that Dink will be the center of attention.

I would like to challenge all of the readers to send Dink a card at Health South. Rhonda said it tickled him to have received cards today. One was from Mom, another from Uncle Mack and Donna, and another was from Bill, Toby, and me!! He received others - I just can't remember from whom! I am sending Dink a card a day. These cards will vary in being store bought and others I will have made. They also will be different in that each card will contain a riddle. The next card he receives will have the answer to that riddle plus a new riddle. He will not receive the answers until the next day!!

Starting next week, I will ask Rhonda how many cards Dink received and from whom. If the sender has posted a note in the card that they read the blog - their name will go in the basket. At the end of each two week period, we will pick a winner. If you happen to send Dink one card, two cards, or ten cards, that will be how many times your name will be in the basket!

I want Dink to know how much he is loved and how much we are all praying that he will recover from this ordeal. He is progressing and for that we are grateful! Prayers do help!

After seeing him trying to sing "Happy Birthday" and how it wore him out, none of us should take things for granted. We should be thankful for God's grace and mercy and for all the blessings He has bestowed uon each and everyone of us.

If you would like to help brighten Dink's world (and Rhonda's) please send a card, note, or letter to:

William A Layne Room 103 D
Health South
6900 Country Club Drive
Huntington, WV 255705

If you want, you could leave a note here for me or send me an email that you are sending a card to Dink. A small token such as the card can make a world of difference in the mind of the patient and their family! Thank you for those who have already sent him a card.

Remember I will check starting on Monday as to who has sent cards!!! Love and prayers to you all!
