Ode to the Gwen

I just had to say a very greatful thanks to Gwen and her family. We showed up on Sunday night for a quick Dr's appointment that turned in to a 3 day event. In between taxiing kids in every direction, she was also handing out barf buckets for her 3 sick kids and a poopin sick husband and also finding time to whip up some sweet grub us and her parents who came to town. If you think that was busy you should also know that on top of all that she just happens to be setting up a totally new primary and planning a generous going away party for her neighbor.
She was always there with a smile to brighten our outlook on the past few scary days. I love my sister Gwen. Thanks for all you do.

PS.. in thanks for all her hard work and kindness, when we stopped to pick up our stuff after the surgury, I had to pee really bad but couldn't walk out of the car so I asked her for forgivness and hung it out the door and yellowed the snow right in the middle of the driveway. She never even batted an eye. :)
