Littlebear Memories is my husband David's Blog. He speaks and I write it, but they're his stories, and he IS TOUGH AS NAILS!!
Love you my Knight in Shining Armor! sb
When I was about 4 years old, I was on my tricycle with my trusted monkey Bud, following my sisters down the sidewalk. Suddenly they took off on a shortcut through the houses and desert to keep me from following.
But we followed anyway, my tricycle, monkey and me... Pretty soon I couldn't keep up so I left my monkey to watch my tricycle and continued on alone. When we all finally made it home, my family went back to help me get my bike and best friend... But they were gone. I never saw them again.
:-(...
He was a double-kidney transplant when I met him. We got to know each other on a church singles' camping weekend - where he was one of the leaders for our hike... Actually, it began a few weeks before that, in a singles prayer circle. I was upset about something that my daughter was going through, and David was sitting next to me. As I was letting the teardrops fall, he reached over and very gently patted my knee, as if to say, it's going to be OK. I didn't even know his name...
But soon after that, as we were preparing for an overnight hike to Strawberry, AZ (Fossil Creek), he sold me my first pair of hiking boots. After the hike, he took me home because he lived closer than anyone else. That was the beginning of our friendship and our quest toward health and prosperity. When we got married eight months later, little did we know we were in for 20 years of hills and valleys!
But Life is all Good, and God is better!!
