We are so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter. Cindy is so concerned about her dad and of course me – she is so thoughtful, and it has transferred to her children. Taylor and Samuel, our grandchildren, are naturally the highlight of our lives ... and it showed in Taylor's special tribute to her grandpa on Thursday.
We drove to Broken Bow to watch Taylor play volleyball that evening. Broken Bow is such a special community, one that is very supportive of its youth. Every home volleyball game, most of the town comes to watch; the band performs as do the cheerleaders. It is so energized – you just feel the community is out there to support their local youth.
Right before the game, Taylor and all the volleyball team came over to Gene. They presented him with a "Team Gene" special sign, which all of the team signed.
And after the game (which Broken Bow lost but Taylor had seven kills), Taylor had arranged for the Broken Bow newspaper to interview Gene in recognition and awareness of pancreatic cancer. They took pictures, and we will watch for that in the Broken Bow newspaper.
Gene and I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Not only our daughter, Jim, Taylor and Samuel ... but all our family members have been so supportive of both of us. What can we say about our family and friends except this: They are priceless.
