I mentioned last month that I brought an Easter cake to my old boss from BYU. Well, we didn't get time to chat much since we were on our way to a Grazzini family get together, so we invited them over for dinner this past Friday. We had such a nice time visiting with them. Bob was like a second father to me. I knew him mostly in my single and early married years, and he gave me lots of good advice. And he took care of me when I was pregnant, but still working and attending school. He'd bring food to work, for me, almost daily, and he also brought in mouth wash for me to use whenever I had to run to the bathroom to throw up, which I did everyday for a few months. I'm not sure if he brought the mouthwash more for my benefit or for his(who wants to talk to someone with puke-breath, right?), but either way, I was very grateful. He was always wanting me to rest and always very aware of my needs and what he could do to assist. He's a great man. And of course, I know his wife Mary because we got together with them a few times, for dinner for dessert or some other activity while I was down at BYU.
Anyways, I hadn't seen them in a couple of years until last month, and I wasn't sure what the kids reaction would be to them, but they loved them. Elisabeth was all over Bob. I think she was on his shoulders most of the evening: while we sat and visited, while they walked around in the backyard, while they walked downstairs to Elisabeth's room. And I tried a couple of times to get her off, but Bob would always say, "No, leave her. She's good here." Alright, whatever Bob, it's your back :). We're so glad we got to visit, and hopefully we'll be able to get together more often.
