Getting back in the groove

First of all, I want to apologize for not posting anything for the last couple of months. I just had other things going on, specifically spending some final moments with Tahsha before she left on her Mission to Melbourne, Australia. Plus, I kind of misplace my blogging grove. So, I'm getting back in the groove now. A lot has happen in our world since I last posted anything. First of all, I would love to give some wonderful news about Papa. There is a miracle in SLC, UT. Back in the early spring, Papa was struggling to recover from his fall he had recently after his back surgery. He ended up pinching some nerves in his lower back. This cause him to loose a lot of his feeling and strength of his legs. The Doctors stated that he would most likely not walk again, just because of how difficult it is for nerves to heal. Plus if he didn't show any improvement after 6 months, then it is very likely he will not have any improvement at all. I remember, even though there was a bad news from the Doctors and Nana feeling very stressed with the fact that Papa could never walk again, Papa never showed any pessimism of any kind. Shortly after, Papa received a blessing from his Bishop. In that blessing, the Bishop not only blessed Papa to be able to walk again, he stated that there will be miracles being shown through his family. Not much time after that blessing, Uncle Rob had a Heart Attack. This was definitely a miracle. By having friends near by to take him to the hospital, and to have one out of two of the only Doctors at that hospital who new the exact procedure in order to save his life, this was a miracle. Not far after Papa received that blessing from his Bishop, Elder Holland (who lives in the same condo as Nana & Papa) found out about Papa's condition. He came and gave Papa a blessing. And in that powerful blessing, Elder Holland said he would walk again. After those blessings, Papa began a daily routine, except on Sundays, of going in his swimming pool at the condo, and doing several exercises in the water in order to get his leg strength back. I would assist him every morning for several months in helping him get to and from the swimming pool and also in and out of the swimming pool. Month after month, I was blessed to witness a miracle in the works. Noticing his improvements that no one really witness in person. The biggest improvements has happen in the last couple of months. He began to get in and out of the pool all by himself, and finally getting his power chair which has done a lot of good. It was just a few weeks ago when Papa took his first few steps on his own without any assists of any kind. Just over the last weekend, Nana & Papa had their Bishop and wife come over. They haven't seen him walk yet. When they came inside, Papa came out, surprised them as he walked several steps in order to come to the Bishop and give him a hug. There was tears coming down all over in that room. Just recently as well, Papa was walking back from swimming with his roller walker, and meet up with Elder Holland by the elevator. Once Papa showed Elder Holland him walking all by himself without assistants Elder Holland got emotional, and told Papa he was his hero. It isn't often when you receive a blessing from an Apostle, and then be told by him that you are his Hero. I know miracles are happening in our day, even more often during the time when the savior was on earth.
