Helping a Friend

[Nancy Gibb]

I spent a good part of the day yesterday in Springfield at St. Johns Hospital with Bob and Nancy Lionberger. "OH MY" the routine he has to go through each week...Doctors, Doctors, Doctors, get re-admitted, get to your hospital room, getting hooked up to all of those tubes IV's etc. BUT, I got to witness first hand a PERFECT example of bravery and confidence! I have been in that position myself, but was in awe of the display of grace, gratitude, and kindness Bob showed to EVERY Dr., Nurse, aid, even the people that brought his food. I watched as he read with a smile on his face the emails many of you sent. Oh what a boost you get when you hear from a car guy or girl.....Friends, Family, Supporters, TEAM. From my old coaching years in Florida, WE play together as a team...we've got each others back...we can always count on each other...."THANK YOU" all for taking time out of your busy days to help Bob in this journey in any way that you have or can, and for allowing me to post these long posts.PLEAS know that if any of you find yourself in a situation like his, HE WILL BE RIGHT THERE!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR......N.G.
