Mark....that's who.
We had a great day. After my concern that he wasn't showing much emotion, he showed some. The first was when I broke down crying and he asked me what was wrong. I told him this was hard for me. He asked what was hard and I said, "What Chuck did to you is hard for me." He said, "Because he has his freedom?" I told him that he had been arrested and was waiting for the trial, but that he would go to jail. And he said, "He should go to jail." He wasn't angry when he said it, but showed that he is aware and has an opinion and feelings about it.
The best was his sarcasm making an appearance....or three. While Mark was walking the loop with Alan Taylor, Kim and I were sitting on the couch outside his room. We were laughing about something when they came around the corner and he looked at Alan and while rolling his eyes said, "I don't know what they hell is going on with them." On the next round he made this sarcastic hand gesture (no, not the bird) that was SOOOO Mark. But by far the best sarcasm of the night was while looking at pictures of him in ICU. The physical therapists were helping him stand up for the first time and the gown was up and showing his "briefs". He pointed to the nurse in the picture and said to Cindy (Kim), "This is probably you trying to look at my naked." We all had a good laugh. Welcome back, Mark Davis.
Best visit EVER!!!!! Loved every minute of it! Love you both!
ReplyDeleteScarlet and Mark, I would just like to let you both know what a privilege I feel it has been to have been a witness to the miracle of your marvelous and blessed recovery thus far. How "being a part of this" has strengthened my testimony and solidified my belief that our Heavenly Father is aware of each one of us, that the power of the priesthood here on earth is real, that with faith, prayer, fasting and the will of God ANYTHING is truly possible in our lives. Mark, your recovery has been and continues to be a modern day miracle and I feel grateful to have been a party to it. I know the Lord hears our prayers and answers them according to his will, Mark you are proof of this fact. Y'all keep working, we'll keep praying.
