A smile for Brian and a wedding by Frank date TBA

About a month ago Liam help Brian Lindgren - a family friend and the father of Liam's friend John move - loading and emptying the U-haul truck. When Brian left from visiting today he said to Liam"You'll have to help me unload another U-haul soon" and Liam cracked a smile!

Frank Hogenhout (another family friend and Mark or Hoagies father) was here today and he told me that he is ordained to do weddings now. I told Liam, while he was standing here, that when Liam is a little better Frank in going to come back and marry us and Liam nodded his head yes. So, I guess were engaged now;) not quite the proposal I wanted...but I'll take it :)

  4. Erika,
    Yay on the wedding proposal :) Maybe you can get married before I do! No, but really, I'm so happy to hear all the progress today and can't wait to come back to visit now that we are going to be spending more time hanging out in Liam's room instead of the ICU waiting room.
    Hope to see you soon again,
    Kristin

  5. Erika and all Liam's loved ones,

    With greatest relief and tearful joy I am reading about Liam's progress this weekend, especially his nod to your 'engagement'. Remember, Love conquers all! (and CNN will never be quite the same for me ever again). Marta Petery and her mum (from far away Budapest, Hungary).
