Hey Mom,
Its been 4 days since your accident and we are here just waiting (impatiently) for you to wake up. You will open your eyes and lift your hand ever once in a while but it's pretty obvious that your not there yet. They are saying that they will wait until tomorrow to do the MRI so they're are not in a big hurry to wake you up yet. We want them too so bad but we understand that its better to let you do it in your own time. Lacey described it perfectly when she said its like delaying Christmas. ......In the mean time I just wanted to let you know that Dad is lost with out you, we all are. I don't think it ever occurred to any of us that you could get hurt. You are super mom. You always know what to do to fix any situation. If you say things will be OK then it will. Dad wouldn't leave you right after the accident and later would only leave if one of us kids were there. It was never for very long though. There were a few times that he couldn't stay because of surgery or stitches and I thought he would crawl out of his skin he was so antsy. There were a few times that he went back when he wasn't supposed to, he just couldn't stand waiting anymore. He asked us to keep people out of the hospital because he felt obligated to be out in the lobby when all he wanted was to be in the room with you. He talks to you while you sleep and is constantly moving tubes and wires to make you more comfortable. It is a side of him I have never seen before. It sucks right now but I think in the long run it will benefit us all. Make us appreciate you and each other more. Dad asked me the other day to teach him to run the laundry cuz he had never learned with the front loading :) Rest a little longer, because its almost time. We love you. See you soon.

Such a sweet tribute to the characteristics of the Bishop we all love and admire. We are glad that the surgeries are going well and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!

We can tell you kids are the product of 2 amazing people. What a family! Sometimes it really does take trials for us to appreciate the people in our lives. It's so hard to stay away, but you deserve your privacy so I will comply to your wishes. But please tell your Mom how much I love her and miss her. Life around here just isn't the same with her away right now. We will try to wait patiently for her return and recovery. Love to your family as well. Hang tough. Marie
It has been a joy to get to know, really know, your family. We feel as though we know the Bishop. He is so special. We love him and can feel his love for all of us more than any Bishop we've ever had. Now it's our turn to love him, support him, and of course, to send all our love to Donna and all of you. You are a special family. Hang tough - your mom would want you to.

Brooke,
Great letter friend (made me cry). I was so sad to hear about this when my mom told me. So many things I could say, but for now I'll keep it short...Stay strong--we're all praying for you.
