Our new address is on the profile at the front of the blog. This move was very difficult. I am proud of Joshua and Ashlea and their friends, under the direction of Stacey Crandle and a few good men! The move started at 12pm and ended at 12am. The storage unit, stuff from Toronto, filled a 2 ton truck. The things from the condo just kept coming and coming! Ashlea's friends did this, they were great. Mom was with me all day, thanks mom! Our furniture from the property filled the truck twice! Thanks Nick, Jamie, Matt and Toby. Joshua you are awesome! Ashlea kept going from 12 to 12. WoW!
We had a few angels show up Carmen and Jeff. They both live near the storage unit, saw a huge need and filled it! I never got a chance to meet them...
We still have a lot of heavy lifting to do. I have sorted through a garage fulllllll of memories...now they need to be stored in a storage place downstairs. It would be nice to park the cars in the garage. We especially do not want Joshua's van to be "van" dilised in the driveway! That would be tragic...???

Life is Hard...God is Good !
This week I saw a friend that I had not seen in way too long she had been such a blessing in our lives, but we had lost contact through moves, changed cell numbers etc. She commented on how she missed the blog and wondered what was happening in our lives...in a nut shell...life is hard...God is good. I am going to focus on the God is good part! This blog is going to be in point form and for some reason more personal, life is personal and we are thankful for all of you who have blessed us with your lives. I have realized lately that ever
yone has a story, everyone has pain, life, at times is hard for everyone. Yet people took time out of their lives to give so completely to ours...
April 5th I shared my story to a church full of people, the amazing part is after 30 min they were
still with me!
Dave sat in the front row with his parents, along with Josh and Ashlea and my sister and her family. What a privilege to have a family, people who know all about you and still love you !
Also present on that special day were the brave prayer warriors who fought hard to gain that ground in healing for me, and have continued to fight as a battle goes on for my health and peace of mind.
Dave, my greatest bravest warrior, who prays continually for his family. Has already read through the Bible once. In 15 days has read through a quarter again!...soon he will have it memorized!
Dave has been treated to 7 Kelowna Rocket games this season! by our very good friend and dedicated hockey fan Crystal, oh, and her husband Noel! thanks guys!!!
We found a perfect home to rent in Quail Ridge! Thank you God! We move in on the 22end, and between the 25th-28th. The house is level entry with master on main and a walkout with two bedrooms/bath/T.V room on lower level. Also separate entrance so Josh can maintain his Independence.
The greatest thing is the move is being handled by Josh and Ashlea directed by Stacy Crandle! Stacy's wife Christie needs our prayers. Her mother is battling cancer, another family in pain...
thanks for giving when life is hard guys...
Ashlea is in "puppy love". His name is Oliver, he weighs 4.4lbs his breed is malti-poo. He has captured her heart and I have to say he's much deserving of it.
We have been blessed with two families who bring Sunday supper to "The Village". It has become a lovely tradition! Blessings to Ralph & Monique and Noel & Crystal. Friends that have never let go through the years...and purpose to continue to support the Johnson family, we love you guys...
Where would our life be without Cam? For a while in our household "call Cam" was a very common phrase! He was our rescuer, our driver, our financial planner, our family counselor and the guy who brought over ice-cream when things got really bad!!! Not to exclude an amazing fundraiser! Our lives would not be what they are today without Cam and the team of people he brought into our lives...I can not wait to see the crown you will throw at Jesus' feet... and a million thanks to your lovely wife who graciously lives without you while you are blessings others.
For 6mths my mom & dad took us into their home and cared for, well, both of us! There was not a thing they would not do! Some of these need not be mentioned!!! Between kids, dogs, company, relatives, workers, and work schedules supper was always on the table and coffee was ready every morning! Thanks mom & dad you are truly amazing!
Dave's family has been very present and supportive. We have enjoyed seeing more of Pam, Trevor and family, as well as Craig and Sheri and family. Pam has helped us enormously with the reams of paper work that this crisis seems to take! Ellen worked hours on the never ending paper trail. Family are a wonderful gift when life is over whelming. Harry has/is doing research and keeping up to date on all things ALS. Trevor thanks for being "hip" enough to text my kids, they love it!!!Lots of Love you guys!!!
