My Dad

OK, so I got a call this morning and it was my mom telling me my dad suffered another stroke last night. My first instinct was to wonder if it was a MS attack, but the doctors said it was definitely a stroke. Now this is frustrating. Here I am 1400 miles away, pregnant, and no way to be able to get down there to comfort my mom, or make my dad laugh and smile like I did last time he had a stroke. The doctor told me with this pregnancy every hour I travel in a vehicle I have to walk around for 15 minutes so I don't develop blood clots, or have other problems...that stinks(and what a long drive that would make)!!! So now I sit here feeling like a helpless daughter because I can't go and help my parents. Oh how I wished they lived up here so that I could take care of them, but I know they will be forever Gatesvillites (why, I have yet to figure out...sorry to those of you who love it there)! So I write this because I am asking everyone to just keep them in your prayers. They say he is OK, but I wish I could be there to see him myself. So for now I will just have to settle with hearing their voices, and depending on my Heavenly Father to let me know everything will be OK, and that it is all in His Hands. Good thing my Sunday School lesson I taught on Sunday was about the Atonement and how it can bring us comfort when we need it...boy I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and the things I have learned from others and especially the spirit.
