Hello. This is Curt. I know some of you are thinking what is this? Welcome to my blog. I have added a number of new people to my blog site. So, those who are new, you will get this occasionally. I don't send blogs very often. I don't just do it to send and say something. Because honestly.....I really do not have that much to say. I do not do it to get responses, although, if you want to respond you can. I do it more for me. I send them when I think something needs to be said. As many of you know Wendy and I have a very good friend who is dieing from a brain tumor. It is the type that is the most aggressive kind. Our friend is Julie Sutterfield. The tumor is inoperable and treatment is pointless. They could have done some treatment, but it was a decision by Julie to not go through with it because it was a quality of life deal. This has been going on for over three weeks now. And as I type this, Julie is in hospice care. I am hoping to get to see her today. Julie and Wendy have been good friends for 10 years or so. They have helped each other through a divorce, family tragedies, family deaths, and other junk. But, this blog isn't about Julie....it is about my wife and a small gift she gave to Julie's daughter Audrey. Thursday I had gone to the civic center to get 4 tickets for the Casting Crowns concert that night. Wendy, Lizzy, Sparky, and myself were going. (Leaving Cutter with Mom and Dad. Did you really think I would take tornado boy to a christian concert? Please!! Sparky....this is Emily for those who do not know. I'll explain later) We had basketball practice that night and the plan was for me and Spark to meet Breezy and Liz there at the concert. Wendy had gone to see Jules at hospice (the day she went in) and called me to say Audrey was coming to practice. (I wasn't expecting her to) They might be a little late because Audrey was hungry and needed something to eat. In a few more minutes Wendy called again and said she and Audrey were talking about the concert. Audrey said her mom and her were planning to go but her mom wasn't able to get the tickets. Wendy decided then and there to give her ticket up so Audrey could go with us. I was like really? We had our practice and then it was time to go. The concert was good, Sparky and Audrey had a blast being there together. Audrey just smiled the whole time with that beautiful grin she has. The gift my wife gave her was not that big. It wasn't done for others to see. Wendy did it because it was the right thing to do in her mind. She did it because she loves Audrey. I can promise you Wendy would have done that if Julie wasn't sick and dieing. My wife did not do it so she would look good to others. She could care less. My wife was kind to a little girl who is fixing to lose everything she has ever known. My wife taught my girls what being unselfish looks like, without even saying a word. My wife has shown compassion, understanding, and loyalty to a friend. Wendy has shown alot of us what being a Christ follower looks like without even saying a word. You know the old saying....Actions speak louder than words!!! I just sat back thursday night at the concert looking at my girls (including Audrey), and I realized what has been going on around me. Realized what I have just shared with you about my wife. Now, it will really hack Wendy off that I am making a big deal about this, because that is not what she wants. So, if you see her, just give her a pat on the back. And say a little a prayer for Audrey.
