For the past seven years, our family has attended the LDS church services on the Sunday before Christmas, in the hospital were Caitlin has received treatment. It is a simple, short, humble, and sweet version of our normal Sacrament Meeting and the Spirit is obvious and strong. Today we sang Christmas hymns and listened to passages of scripture about the birth of our Savior, it was perfect.
I loved the closing prayer where a special blessing was asked for the patients, families, doctors, and caregivers. I would like to imagine a prayer like this being offered almost eight years ago when Caitlin was diagnosed at Christmas.
Vicky and Lauren, we are so happy you could join us. Terry Family, we are praying for you and are so sorry for your loss.

I love love LOVE Sacrament meetings up there! It was very special to be up there with you guys. I too feel bad for Melody and her family. Such a tragic loss.
There is always such a humbling spirit there. I bet Christmas services are wonderful.
