Ernie... or Big EZ as he is more commonly known... is the guy that always has a smile on his face- no matter the circumstance. He laughs and tells jokes and is the life of the party. He is a hard-working family man, generous and kind.
And to me, he is truly an inspiration... When we went to visit him the other day, we talked a lot about the pain, the treatments and the constant nurse and doctor visits. After a few minutes, he turned to us and said, "There are a bunch of people in the world who are worse off than me and would trade places with me in a heartbeat..."
After all he is going through, he can step outside of it and count his blessings...
To be in the middle of such pain and wishing for answers... yet he has hope and thinks of others. What a better world this place would be if more people thought like him.
They are working through the issues and after an answer to prayer, Ernie was able to stand yesterday, for the first time in 3.5 weeks. So, when you say your prayers tonight, please include Ernie and the Baker/Dew/Stout/Guenther extended family. Thanks!
Thank you so much Rach for writing this!! We appreciate the prayers more than you know!
