Day 17.1 & 2: B & E

Sibling Date

B & E

Saturday, December 16th was a difficult and tragic morning followed by a touching evening.

My best friends, Emily & Ellen were set to meet Daesha for coffee at 1pm. Following their date, where they would present Daesha with the letter “O” they were going to “swing by campus” to incidentally stumble upon a Shire band (Caden, Dustin, & Mitch) who would scerenade Daesha with song and also give another flower. 

This weekend was a triple-double. Three days in a row where Daesha received two flowers with notes. The point being—she is getting used to “one a day” so it was time to mix things up.

Unfortunately, this grand plan hit a bumper. Literally, while Ellen & Em were en route to pick Daesha up they were rear ended on US-6. There was a five car pile up, both girls experienced whiplash and there was damage to the Lexus. Fortunately, the damage was not severe and both girls are okay and recovering. Aside from insurance pains and needing to schedule a repair, both girls are doing better physically and emotionally as of my writing this (Dec 18).

Anna Martch, came through with a miraculous solution. A “Plan B” that literally included “B” (family nickname for Daesha’s little brother Brennan). 

The Martch siblings had a “sibling date” planned that evening and Anna managed to collect flowers and notes just in time for Erica and Brennan to deliver the “O” and the “S” as scheduled. Thanks you two! And thank you Anna for the amazing save!

The three amigos minus Phil will still perform their special surprise on sunday. Stay tuned.
