Text of the page (random words):
lifetime the most memorable part was that we did not think about presents there may have been some handmade mittens or a scarf given but i do not recall any presents presents are wonderful but i found that they are not essential to our happiness i could not have been happier there were no presents that could be held and fondled and played with but there were many wonderful gifts that could not be seen but could be felt there was the gift of boundless love we knew god loved us we all loved each other we did not miss the presents because we had all these glorious gifts it made me feel so wonderful and secure to belong and to be part of all that went on we wanted nothing else we did not miss the presents at all i never remember a happier christmas in my childhood sarah wanted ponytails like her sisters this was the best we could come up with fuzzy ponytail covers i knew this was what i wanted to create for my family i began focusing my energy on making a memorable christmas working with my hands day in and day out kept my mind occupied and kept me from going absolutely crazy in that little four walled hospital room i began pleading with all my heart for a miracle for just one more christmas with our family together i knew all i wanted was one more memory filled with love i prayed and pleaded i studied and prayed some more after many close calls sarah was released to come home it was two days before thanksgiving and our miracle began thanksgiving was wonderfully pleasant it was just the five of us a chicken boxed stuffing and mashed potatoes yet the memories of the warmth and comfort of the day are vividly imprinted on my heart favorite outfit pink cowboy boots and her cowboy hat the glorious month of december was a gift sent straight from heaven the twinkle in sarah s eyes had returned and her sweet disposition was back her strength was increasing and soon she was dancing with alan emily and ruth again she and i still went to scores of clinic visits but magically we came home each night to play and dance as a family we dared not pull out the dusty box of ornaments or the stored artificial tree for fear that the dust may cause harm to sarah instead i let the girls choose a table top tree and one new ornament for it emily and ruth were mesmerized by the grandma looking fiber optic tree in the store and its brightly changing colors they knew that was the one sarah would love the most home we went to put it up with its three silver ornaments hanging from the branches a heart an angel and a beautiful ball it was a magnificent sight three happy faces glimmered as the tree changed from a dazzling red to a twinkling yellow santa baby one sunday afternoon emily and ruth busily made a paper chain to drape on our large picture window in the living room all the colors of the rainbow with no apparent pattern were glued together it was beautiful the handmade stockings i had tediously worked on in the hospital now hung from the fireplace emily s was decorated with snowmen ruth s a candy cane and sarah s very appropriately shined with an angel it was a sight only a mother could call beautiful nonetheless it brought a wonderful spirit into our home one family home evening emily wrote each person s name on a slip of paper and put it into one of sarah s many stocking hats one by one we drew a name from the hat to give someone a present we began making our homemade gifts somewhat out of necessity since i could not leave sarah to go shopping and alan was working many hours again the clinic had become our second home sarah and i spent more daytime hours there than at home december was no different clinic visits rolled by three to five times a week but clinic visits as long as they were were still better than hospital stays i had learned to be assertive with the doctors and medical staff over the course of sarah s illness i became my child s only advocate no one knew sarah better than me and i understood the cancer course we were on it had been too long since her last chemo treatment because of the fungal infection the doctors were getting antsy about her relapsing she was scheduled for a week of cytoxan a powerful chemo that is usually administered only while staying in the hospital we had been home for one week and she and i could not bear to face another inpatient hospital stay i spoke with our doctor at our clinic visit and voiced my concerns he kindly consented to administering the cytoxan in the clinic for five days straight instead of a hospital stay it meant we spent 8 9 hours a day in the clinic but at least we returned home each night he seemed to understand that sarah was fighting a useless battle and he knew how important it was for her to be home as often as possible sarah and her bitty baby she loved immunosuppression comes with many limitations often restricting not only the patient but the entire family if any member of the family contracted an illness they were put in isolation and far away from sarah we tried our best to keep the entire family well for this reason our christmas activities were limited mostly to car rides we loved driving through new neighborhoods spotting all the lights and nativity scenes set out in celebration of the christmas season sarah s favorite car ride however was through the layton city christmas lights all of us peered through the car windows into the dark of night where the lights of whales penguins dinosaurs and santa and his reindeer lit up the black sky each time we finished sarah cheered again daddy again over and over again we drove through the twinkling lights lights at temple square from alan s office saturdays became the traditional visit to vosen s german bakery the yummy pastries pretzels and bread melted in our mouths as we savored each and every morsel sarah loved the salty pretzel for its bold taste chemo had changed her taste buds significantly and if it wasn t bold she didn t want it sarah at alan s office desk the three secretaries often our trip to vosen s would be followed by a quick stop at dad s office saturdays at deloitte were pretty baron in december therefore it became an actual destination where sarah could get out of the car and come into the building she loved setting her pretzel down on the large dark wood desk and picking up the telephone with its scores of buttons emily and ruth were always close by with the phone headset in place and the sticky notepads in hand dad s big comfy office chair was better entertainment than any amusement park the girls took turns whirling and twirling each other around and around in the big black chair by the time we left alan had so many sticky notes to remind him to come home on time that there was no way he would be coming home late any time soon sarah as mary holding baby jesus christmas morning arrived the girls giggled with excitement as they anticipated the hallway door being opened into the enchanting world of santa clause they stood lined up youngest to oldest with their teeth brushed and hair combed in their new christmas pajamas one by one they walked into the living room where the small fiber optic tree glistened against the dark of the early morning and the christmas carols softly chimed in the background each quickly spotted their stocking filled with gifts and goodies and began opening their new treasures it was a meager christmas by choice but one that was filled with everything for which i had wished desired and prayed the air was filled with a magical feeling of peace and love i have learned over the years that it isn t the gifts or things that are remembered but the feelings of joy and love our last christmas with sarah was a miracle for our family and a special gift from our father in heaven we hope you can fill your christmas season with the love of our savior merry christmas the bott family now emily in perú bott selfie posted by unknown at 7 13 pm 4 comments sunday

played on the davis high girls basketball team i have learned valuable life lessons about hard work service to others and how to have a positive outlook on life in tough situations from my basketball experience when i was in seventh grade i was cut from the basketball team i was crushed however i knew i really wanted to play basketball from that point on i began working on my game during every summer following my seventh grade year i practiced dribbling and shooting eventually i became a starter on the high school team my senior year i started every game i know through hard work and perseverance that any dream is a possibility during the three christmas season s our basketball team had the opportunity to volunteer for the shop with a cop program this is a program where local cops come together with under privileged children and shop for christmas gifts knowing these children had grown up with practically nothing made me truly grateful for my blessings it was an eye opening experience for me to see people living in situations that i was not accustomed to it helped me realize how much people suffer and yet these children who had nothing in the world s view still had so much love for their families as they tried to stretch their 100 to provide christmas for their entire family seeing the joy in the children s faces as i wrapped their gifts and listening to them excitedly share with me the significance of each gift was a pivotal moment for me during my junior and senior basketball seasons i served as a captain on the team i was the only underclassman to be chosen my junior year it was a good opportunity for me to learn how to work with the older girls my peers and adults this was a huge leap for me because i was now representing myself and davis high in a bigger way this past year as a senior i also was a captain but this time with the girls my own age this taught me a lot about responsibility whether it was texting the girls to remind them about an early morning saturday practice giving small christmas gifts hosting team parties and dinners or just an encouraging good job or high five these simple acts of service helped me develop a deep bond with all of them i learned a great lesson in team unity through this experience whether you re the star or the least talented player on the team everyone is important and means a lot to the success of the team i also learned how to have a positive attitude when things are tough girls basketball can be challenging with so many different personalities brought together every day my attitude affected my performance as well as the team as a whole even on the days that were hard i learned that keeping a positive outlook on life enabled me to go far attitude is altitude has been a saying that i have found to be true the more positive i am the more things that go right davis girls basketball has taught me how to work hard serve others and how to stay positive when things get hard this is a
