A Real Trooper

We're having our 'Layne's Still Alive Party' on Saturday even thought Layne's not feeling so great. He decided earlier in the week not to do the 5K that morning. He thought he'd at least be able to walk it. He wanted the whole family to participate together. The rest of us had already thought that it was off the schedule because we didn't have a plan and he wasn't feeling well. He still went into work yesterday (for a couple of hours) and to YM last night. He's a trooper.

Layne's Still Alive

We're having a 'Layne's Still Alive' party on September 20th. We thought it would be more fun than a funeral. He's already lived longer than the doctors thought he would. He originally commented about it for his 45th birthday, but has since decided that this one would work well. (Maybe we'll do one again when that time comes. I think originally he thought he'd make it that far. But, considering this really could be the last chance we have to do this - no better time than the present.) Our house is a bit 'space challenged' to make such a thing happen. So, we're going to be heading over to the house of some friends that offered to let us use their space. We are grateful. Layne would love to just 'hang out' and play some games. But, I don't think he'll have the time to sit and play a board game. He's invited people from work and yesterday he came home and told me he talked with his trainer at Huntsman about it. Layne's good at making friends with people. I also sent out Facebook invites to our ward and my 'friends' that might be close enough to come (at least I hope I got everyone). There are several people that aren't on Facebook that we'll need to invite individually. Maybe today would be good since it's only a week and a half away.
Today is the day Layne leaves for Houston.
