This pic is of Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a character from a book that Emee is reading at school. Stanley can travel by mail because he is "Flat". Stanley was mailed to Utah to stay and visit Eric's Sister Casey, but when April decided to take a visit to Utah Stanley came to visit her. Emee, Stanley is in good hands with your Mama.
Hannah and Emee didn't want their Mama going without a Christmas tree for the Holidays so they made and mailed a Christmas Tree. Eric and April have this tree hanging in their hospital room.
Annie's Commentary...
The other day my 5 year old son Kade and I were talking about how much he misses April and then he says to me, "Mom, April reminds me of the word Joy." This got me thinking and I decided that in honor of April (because I know she has so many fans) we all write in our comments a word that reminds us of April and why.
We love you Apes keep getting better!! :)

Life! Would be my word for April. It doesn't matter what is going on April bring happiness and joy to life. You can feel here presence wherever she is at! So get better because Friday is the day that our little one will come into this world and needs to meet you!
Sweetness! April is the the definition of the word sweetness. She is the sweetest person I know. She is always making the best of every situation and is sweet to everyone she comes in contact with. You cannot help but feel joy and happiness when being around April and her family. I love to sit and talk with her because she always has a smile on her face.

SUNSHINE! She lights up a room when she walks in it - always with a smile. April's personality is a breath of fresh air!

Mother. I have never met a woman more suited to being a mother. You are an ideal mother.
Compassion
You are the most compassionate person I know. You are always giving of youself. You have the biggest and most tender heart of any person I know. Love you keep getting better. Annie
There are so many words that describe you April but, LOVE :) is the word that stands out the most. I will never forget the first time I had the oppertunity to hang out with April. It was When some of our husbands were on this years High Adventure Hike. Annie was brave enough to have a camp out of her own in her back yard. To make the story short, we had a great time! The thing I remember the most is April makes you feel like you are her best friend. She is without judgment. I'm greatful for that oppertunity and I prey that I have many more oppertunities to hang out with you April. Get Well soon. Lots of love, Tracy Coltrin
Comfort!I always feel like I have been wrapped in a blanket of love when she talks to me. She quiets the feelings of anxiety when she talks to you,and I know she was such a blessing to my daughter when she needed someone the very most. You read these words and I can agree, we all know April!I think we are all having April withdrawls and I am trying to do things to help myself with what would April be doing.I love you!Get well! Kim
Friendly! Not knowing April that well ever since we have moved to the ward she is always so friendly to me and shows interest in my life! She is a great person!!
CHARITY!!! I've never known anyone who demonstrates the pure love of Christ more than April. I've tried to concentrate on making myself have more charity, but April, you seem to do it without thinking. You are the true example of Charity. Charity means: The highest, noblest, strongest kind of love, not merely affection;the pure love of Christ. If only, we could all be more like you, the world would be better for it. We miss you April and Hunter talks about you and how much you mean to him.
My word for April is POSITIVE! It doesn't matter what trial she is going through in her life (and we all know she has had more than her fair share) I don't recall ever hearing anything negative or a bit of complaining. You are constantly figuring out what good can come from an undesirable or hard situation. When Caleb was in the NICU I remember you relaying a very neat thing to me about Caleb. You knew there were going to be challenges with him, yet all I heard was how lucky and blessed you were!! That has NEVER changed. Talking with any of the staff at UVRMC, you will hear the same story as well as how you, April make everyone feel like they are your BEST friend. That is true love. You are AMAZING, April. We would all be better people if we strive to be more like you. LOL-Tiff
LOVE. April is love personified. I cried when I saw your beautiful face, my dear. There was love jumping through the computer. I can't wait to see you and take that trip to Forks... I have a feeling it will be quite a large group. Hannah is my on eo fmy great joys in primary. I asked to be moved up with my class, but I forgot they switch to boys/girls... I cried again.:( April, I wish I could let you know of the impact you have had on our family. My children's prayers are full of love and strength for the Brugger family. Pat even offered to decorate with the girls at the stake center for you - HA HA. Talk soon, "My Friend" - Selina Thibadeau and Family
Oh, April, one more comment, since I finally figured this whole blog thing out... In my family the highest form of verbal love is to say, "Love ya like a Monkey" it is our little love motto, but I have one for you.... LOVE YA LIKE A VAMPIRE!!! Selina
Genuine. I always remember April as being one of the truest, most genuine people. We're still praying for you!
Fun. Of course I think of positive, kind, happy, sweet, loving, friendly and the list goes on but by golly you are fun and I miss living near enough to laugh my head off with you because, you are FUN. Love you forever and always. Tif
Influential! You have been such a great influence on so many lives. We are better people because we know you. Thanks! We're so glad you get to go home.
Well let me tell you sister Brugger this is the hardest thing to do.. narrow down all the great words that remind me of you.. I don't know if this will make sense but my word is TREASURE.. why i chose this is because when you moved into this ward and our neighborhood its like me and our family have found a lost treasure that we have been searching for.. Thank you sister Brugger for all the love and kindness you have given me i love you and your family!!
Love Austin Munson
SMILE! Every time you see someone the first thing you do is smile and when you do that it makes my day because that's really all I need. When you walk into a room the first thing you do is smile and then everyone is happy, I mean like when you walk into a room and you smile, for some reason, every one smiles and that my friend is awesome!!!!
-Katelynn
Vibrant! That is the first word that popped into my mind when Kim told me about thinking of a word to describe April. You are so full of life, always positive, and always thinking of others, no matter what is going on in your life. Everyone wants to be around you, to feel of your energy and also to benefit from your kindness!
We love you April and are glad you are coming home!
