MARKYS IN THE NEWSPAPER, AGAIN ! ! !

The Deseret News section B, And the Salt Lake Tribune .

The articles are about the "Bike's 4 Kids Utah" rally yesterday
at Intermountain Medical Center ( which is where Marky went to
get his P.E.T. scan, by the way.)

In the Tribune article Marky was quoted after the reporter asked him,
"what are you going to do when you get your new bike ? !?!?! " .........

Marky very practically replied........ "I'm goin to ride it !" ......like, what a
ridiculous question !

I reminded me of the time we were in the hospital and Marky could finally eat again.

The nurse came in first thing in the morning and asked Mark, "what do you want to eat?"...
.....

Marky just looked up at him and said......."BREAKFAST, DUH ! ! "

I envy the simplicity and uncomplicated world of a young child !

Scott gave the most awesome Mother's day talk in church today ! In front of all those people !
He was a natural up there, speaking just like a great leader. I was beaming with pride.

Atta boy Scotty !

His Grandma and Grandpa Cole and his Dad Mike surprised us all and came to see him
speak ! That was fun, and we appreciated their effort especially since they've had some
physical trials of their own lately.

As I stood there watching Marky at the Bike thing yesterday, I was yet again amazed that he was even there to RIDE a bike after what he'd been through just months ago ! The miracles
we all were fortunate enough to witness with Marky are gifts some people never have opportunity to receive. And I am grateful to have been a small part of the great effort to
carry Mark through his trial, along with all of you.

So, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYBODY ! And.......go check the paper !
Love, netti........
