mr. bill

please say a prayer for our dear, like family, friend Mr. Bill this morning.
he will be having open heart surgery. (5 bypasses to be exact)

our heart is heavy this morning.
we can't wait to hear one of his jokes or smart comments to JD as soon as he comes to.

he called last night and wanted to speak to all the kiddos.
they all asked a question or two, and he answered them all in the jolliest of ways.

watkins had a couple pieces of advice for him -

#1 hit the nurse button on the side of your bed, and they will get you what you want - popsicles and milk
#2 you can watch "rahtoons" (cartoons) all day there

he also asked/said.............

if he was at "his hospital".
i guess watkins was going to tell him about the best nurses.
trust me he knows.
when we see them around town the ones he likes that is he wants to tell his latest problem.

and that he couldn't wait for him to come over so he could tie him up!
he told mr.bill that his daddy said he could not do that to him in the hospital. ha!

so everybody please say a prayer for our mr. bill this morning.
he has become such a big part of our lives, and it is hard to remember what it was like before
we knew him.

we love you - mr. bill.
get fixed up and come home soon.
